Bastianini secures a podium at the Italian Grand Prix

The Ducati Lenovo Team celebrated the Brembo Italian Grand Prix at the Mugello International Circuit in the best possible way, securing victory with Francesco Bagnaia and second place with Enea Bastianini. Both riders delivered a spectacular performance on their Desmosedici GP bikes with special livery dedicated to the Italian national team, in front of their home crowd.

Bastianini made an excellent start, staying in the fight for the podium throughout the entire race. With three laps to go, Enea managed to overtake Marc Márquez for third place, then set his sights on Jorge Martín. Despite having little time, Ducati rider #23 quickly caught up with his brand mate, overtaking him at the last corner and racing towards second place at the checkered flag.

Here are Enea’s words:

“This podium in front of the home crowd is incredible. Something hadn’t been working well recently, but we solved the problems, and today we really pushed to the maximum. I’m really happy: I had a dip in performance halfway through the race, despite feeling good on the bike, but after being overtaken by Marc (Márquez), I knew it was time to push. On the last lap, I saw Jorge (Martín) getting closer and realized that second place was a real possibility. I achieved it at the last corner, and I am really pleased. I would like to dedicate this victory to my dog, who passed away last week. In a way, she was my baby.”
