Bastianini ’ s time at factory Ducati was first derailed by a shoulder injury sustained early on in the 2023 season , and after coming back from that the ‘ Beast ’ has showed flashes of brilliance but couldn ’ t quite make a title charge . He threatened to though , including taking a first double at Silverstone looking untouchable . After denying Jorge Martin on the final lap at Mugello to make it a Ducati Lenovo 1-2 , he also rubbed salt in the wound at Misano by barging past Martin on the final lap for the win . ‘ Beast ’ mode or too far ? The Stewards let it stand . Now it ’ s a new challenge for Bastianini as he joins Red Bull KTM Tech3 and take on a different bike . He ’ s always seemed able to surprise , despite his impressive CV , so can he do it again ?
