Esponsorama Avintia Racing 2021 presentation – The 2 Moto2020 World Champion Enea Bastianini spoke via Zoom with journalists after the presentation of the Esponsorama Team.

Enea, who will team up with Luca Marini (even if the latter will be on track with the Sky VR46 colours, ed.) can't wait to get on the #23 Ducati. The #33 that has accompanied him over the years is in fact "occupied" by Brad Binder. Here's what the "Beast" said.

“The emotion is great, I'm excited. Our relationship with Luca is good, we were rivals in Moto2 but we respect each other. As for my technical chief, I will work with "pigiamino" (Alberto Giribuola, ex of Andrea Dovizioso, ed.), we have already met and although young he already has great experience. I will have a lot to learn from him. The expectations for the tests are not very high, it's a new category with a new bike, there will be more electronics, but I'm excited and can't wait to get started. As far as physical preparation goes, I tried to work harder. In addition to the gym and bike I also train with the cross bike. I'll have to build muscle, I'll need more strength.”

“Lapping a lot in Qatar could be an advantage, even if it's not nice to always lap on the same track. Surely in the second race I will have more experience, we'll see."
