Even though we personally chose Pecco Bagnaia as Rider Of The Match in the Mugello Grand Prix race. . . However, Enea Bastianini actually has many reasons to be recognized as the best racer candidate in the Mugello Race, especially because he is a racer who can liven up the atmosphere of the race after almost half of the race has been carried away by the boring monotonous flow. . . Even though Pecco is still chosen as the rider he wants as a tandem, it seems that Bastianini’s name has left the Constellation of Candidates for Pecco’s tandem in 2025
It seems that Enea long ago understood that his days at Ducati might be coming to an end, however, at Mugello he proved that he was not finished yet. . . he will move on. Maybe apart from Ducati, but this Rimini native is tempting many people: Massimo Rivola has said several times that Aprilia could use an Italian racer, Yamaha is also rumored to be interested in Enea.
These two doors have not yet been closed, and there is a third option which is no less interesting, where this option leads to Austria even though the original brand is from Spain (GAs Gas). Represented by his manager, a respected figure in the paddock, namely Carlo Pernat, Bastianini has actually intensified his discussions with KTM, which, after some time, has put Acosta in partnership with Brad Binder in 2025. . However, the two seats at Gas Gas still seem to have not settled. . . Augusto Fernandez’s performance has really dropped, while Miller’s performance is also often questioned by Mattighofen
Taking on Enea would be a major coup as it would mean having a rider who is young, fast and will bring with him the experience gained at Ducati. Of course we are talking about a place in the Tech3 team which in the next season could leave the GasGas brand to return to showing off the KTM brand. Of course, the Beast can be supplied with the latest RC16 model, the same as the one used by Acosta and Binder later. There is also another very interesting detail from Enea, namely finding his former crew chief Alberto Giribuola who was Bastianini’s ‘best friend’ at the Gresini team before moving to KTM.
