MotoGP canceled the Valencia Grand Prix due to the passage of the DANA and transferred it to Barcelona on the same date. The final race will take place on Sunday November 17. The day the title will be decided between Jorge Martin and Pecco Bagnaia.
But some on the grid do not understand that the race is taking place in Spain in the midst of the DANA tragedy. These are the words of Enea BastianiniDucati rider.
“I think Barcelona is a good circuit. But I don’t understand the decision to go to Barcelona, Spain after what happened. But if it happened like that, it’s because it was the only option,” Pecco’s teammate said after the Malaysia race.
On a sporting level, ‘The Beast’ finished third this Sunday. A result that didn’t please him: “I expected to fight for victory or second place, and the truth is that I had the same problems as yesterday. And nothing, it was impossible.”
“The speed in the middle of the corner was not good, not like the rest of the drivers. I was always very aggressive with the brakes, but they didn’t give me the confidence to do anything more “I’m disappointed, because it’s always one of my favorites, but this year I suffered, we’ll try it next time,” says Bastianini.
Confirmation from MotoGP boss
Carlos Ezpeleta, The MotoGP boss spoke about Barcelona: “Organizing a grand prix involves a lot of preparations, normally for a year. Doing it in 15 days is a challenge.
