And to think that in the warm up he had signed the third best time, but then once in the race Enea Bastianini got a little lost and his weekend in Phillip Island ended with a fifth position below expectations. The reasons are to be found in the tires, the front precisely.
"I'm frustrated that I wasn't that competitive, especially because after the Sprint Race and this morning I was convinced that I was going to have a great race and a different start ," he admitted, also recriminating for a suboptimal start. " Unfortunately, the front behaved strangely and every time I was in the middle of the corner I was losing it, so I just tried not to fall preferring not to take too many risks. I hoped that at the end something would change, but it didn't happen. Only in the last two laps did I push a little harder to stay in the group and bring home some points. A fifth place came, however, I can't be satisfied."
"The bike was the same as yesterday and this morning, but that's how it goes sometimes," he continued, accepting the track's response, " Was there a fight? Even among Ducatists you always try to battle since there are so many in the top positions. Today I wanted to try to follow and chase Marquez, but it was impossible. Marc's overtaking of Martin similar to mine? It was nice and difficult. It was actually in my style, however, today I would not have been able to. I didn't feel comfortable and I was never able to replicate the times I did on Friday and this morning."
Lastly, a comment on the rear tire: "The soft tire behaved very well."
