MotoGP, Bastianini: “Zarco stopped briefly and I rammed him, it was really bad luck”

A day of bad luck, that’s how Enea Bastianini defined the Italian GP Sunday. At the end of the warm-up lap, just after the Bucine exit, the Italian crashed into Johann Zarco’s Ducati and crashed, which endangered his race just before the green light.

Shortly before his starting position, the Frenchman braked sharply and Enea crashed into him to avoid an accident. Then the Avintia Racing Team’s Ducati crashed and knocked # 33 to the ground. After the fall, Enea felt pain in her left leg and went to the medical center for an examination.

“Unfortunately today was a tough Sunday, starting with the death of Jason Dupasquier,” he said. “When I was about to start on the grid, I noticed that the airbag was empty and I wasn’t even very focused. I got to the grid but Zarco stopped shortly after exiting the last corner and there was nothing I could do about it. I rammed him right. I tried to go as fast as possible and get the second bike, but I was done on the first lap. Today was really all bad luck. I’ll try to do that in Barcelona. I am in pain but I will try to resolve it. I was fast this morning and could have done a great race. I feel bad.”
