Not A Good Start To 2023 For Bastianini

Enea Bastianini is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to racing. However, no matter how good you are, there are times when things don’t go your way.

The Ducati rider was involved in a collision during the second lap of the inaugural MotoGP sprint race. Luca Marini, a VR46 Ducati competitor, triggered the crash.

Francesco Bagnaia won the MotoGP sprint race. Following the accident, Marini and Bastianini were taken for a medical check. The Italian was immediately taken to Faro Hospital when further medical attention was deemed necessary.

Enea sustained a fracture to his right shoulder blade. Bastianini was ruled unfit for the race as he would need a few weeks to recover fully. Michele Pirro replaced him following his exit.

Fortunately, Enea Bastianini’s injury didn’t require surgery. Hence, he was expected to return for Spanish MotoGP on April 30, but when the time came, Bastianini pulled out, citing pain and lack of strength.

Bastianini’s retirement from April’s race means he still has not scored a point in 2023 and has not finished a single race since his move to the factory Ducati team.
