LUCA MARINI FINISHES IN 16TH POSITION, BASTIANINI SUFFERS A FALL WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES
Jerez (Spain) May 2, 2021 – Ends the GP Red Bull of Spain with a positive balance for the riders of Team Avintia Esponsorama Racing. Although a fall without consequences, Bastianini has had a good pace with very good feeling since the start of the race, unfortunately the Italian this time has not been able to get any point. Luca Marini has finished in 16th position with gradual progress in the race that has allowed him to continue to gain experience.
#10 LUCA MARINI (SKY VR46 AVINTIA TEAM) – 16º
“I made a mistake at the start: in the rush to recover, I went straight in braking on several occasions, and I lost a lot of seconds from the strongest guys. After the first 7 laps I started to ride better, I made the steps forward I had seen in the data and I did a very good second half of the race. The result is not positive, the points were so close and the gap from the very first riders was not bad at all. We are putting together many pieces; I have made progress on the use of the gas and the management of the rear tire. There are still many aspects to work on, but I’m happy because Jerez is not an easy track for the Ducati GP19 while the new one is really fast. I was behind Tito (Rabat) and the bike was very very fast. Congratulations to Dall’Igna and all the Ducati engineers because they have done a great job, Jerez is notoriously a track for other manufacture”.
#23 ENEA BASTIANINI
“I’ve made a bad start, with some problems. I had the pace and good feelings with the brake, after 4 or 5 laps I overtake to Marquez, but I went outside and it has pass me again, behind him I make a time of 38.4, 38.5 so I think little by little I could have improved. It was a shame the fall on Turn 2, I’m sure I could have made a good race. I keep the positive, we’ve been competitive. This morning the feeling with the bike was much better, tomorrow in the tests we will try new solutions.”
