Enea Bastianini has impressed a whole bunch of people in the paddock with his performances in the first half of the season with the most surprising performance being P2 in his debut race for the Gresini Racing team back during the season opening round in Qatar. The Italian rider is currently placed 5th in the world championship standings and is still in contention of the title somewhat.

Alberto Giribuola agreed that Enea Bastianini has the best throttle control compared to all the riders on the grid making this the rider’s greatest ability. With this at hand, Bastianini can extract maximum performance from the rear tyre during the ending stages of a Grand Prix.

“Yeah, I think Enea can stay at the limit of the grip without spinning the rear. He takes out the maximum in acceleration, but at the end of the race he still has 10 to 15% more compared to the others. Last year, sometimes there was a limit for him because he was not able to push at the maximum, like in qualifying because you have to ride in a way that’s not good for the race but is good for one lap. “

“So, he was at the limit,’ he said in an interview with motogp.com before stating that the #23 can now be fast in any situation. This year, he’s able to switch when it’s time for qualifying. We saw immediately something special from him since the Qatar Test last year.”

“His confidence with the front, the feeling he has with the front tyre in the last part of entering the corner, he can really gain a lot in comparison to the other riders. He carries a lot of speed into the corner but then he’s able to turn, so it’s something really special.”

With the MotoGP summer break coming to an end Enea Bastianini has a lot of ground to cover to have a solid place in the championship fight as his performances will be key for him getting a contract with the Factory Ducati Team for 2023.
