Enea Bastianini will be keen to register his second win of the 2024 MotoGP season by clinching the
San Marino and Rimini Riviera MotoGP title.
Most recent race
The Ducati Lenovo Team rider came close to securing a podium spot at the Aragon MotoGP on 1 September, the most race on the 2024 MotoGP calendar.
Bastianini finished fifth and also settled for a seventh finish in the sprint event which saw him collect 14 points in total from the event held at the Motorland Aragon.
MotoGP title ambitions
The 2020 Moto2 World Championship winner is placed fifth in the 2024 MotoGP Riders' standings having accumulated 148 points from 12 races.
Bastianini is now 71 points behind leader Jorge Martin of Ducati Prima Pramac Racing and one point behind third-placed Marc Marquez of Ducati Gresini Racing MotoGP.
Why Bastianini could win the 2024 San Marino and Rimini Riviera MotoGP
The last time Bastianini was in action in Italy - his home country - he finished second in the 2024 Italian MotoGP as his compatriot Francesco Bagnaia won the race.
The man nicknamed La Bestia (The Beast) won the 2024 British MotoGP and he has what it takes to record his second win of the season this weekend.
What did he say?
“I’m not happy because it was a very difficult race, maybe the toughest of the season and surely the opening day had a significant impact on my chances to do well," Bastianini said after finishing fifth at the 2024 Aragon MotoGP.
"I had the speed, but it was hard to put all the pieces together: I tried to overtake on many occasions, but often enough things didn’t go according to plan, as I ended up going wide and making mistakes.
"The track was really dirty outside the racing line and that made everything a lot more difficult. It’s really a shame, because I think we could have got more out of this weekend, but we must be content with this fifth place.”
