BASTIANINI

DOB : 1997-12-30 Birthplace : RIMINI Height : 168 CM Weight : 64 KG
After just a single year in the Red Bull Rookies Cup a 16-year old Enea Bastianini thrilled in his first season in Moto3™ . His impact was almost immediate ; a podium in Barcelona was soon followed by further top threes at Brno and Silverstone . With Gresini switching to Honda machinery for 2015 , a first title challenge was formed . That debut win arrived in front of home fans at Misano but he ultimately came up short in a title fight against Danny Kent and Miguel Oliveira . From there Bastianini didn ’ t quite cut it in the junior class , despite spells with the Estrella Galicia 0,0 Honda team in 2017 and Leopard Racing in 2018 . It was only since stepping up to Moto2™ with Italtrans when we saw the best of Enea . He scored two podiums in an excellent rookie season in 2019 , which was ruined by a crash in Austria . But he returned as a real force in 2020 , winning three races , the world title and earning a place in the Esponsorama Racing Ducati team for 2021 . He has been the most consistent rookie to date , scoring three top-ten finishes , including an excellent ninth in Portugal . Surely a top six will be on the cards before the end of this year .
