Enea Bastianini ‘happy about approach’ to 2024, chatter ‘not one of my biggest problems’

Italian Ducati MotoGP rider Enea Bastianini has expressed satisfaction with his approach so far in the 2024 season, insisting that chatter (vibration of the front wheel) is not one of his biggest problems.

With the pressure to hold off competitors like Jorge Martin and Marc Marquez to take second place in the Ducati factory team, Bastianini has shown composure and confidence in his performances in the first three races of the season.

The Italian driver managed to outperform his teammate and world champion, Francesco Bagnaia, in the last two races and also made decisive overtakes to achieve his second podium of the year.

Discussing his approach at the start of the season, Bastianini emphasized the importance of teamwork and his own confidence in their performance. He expressed his optimism about the upcoming race in Jerez, highlighting the preparation and competitive pace he and his team have shown so far.

Despite the challenges he faced, including the chatter during the first few races, Bastianini does not consider this problem to be one of the most important of his season. He explained that while he suffered from chatter during testing in Malaysia, it was not a constant concern in the other races.

The Italian rider attributed this difference to his riding style, suggesting that riders like Jorge Martin, who push the bike more to its limits, may experience more problems with chatter. However, Bastianini expressed hope that this problem could be resolved in the future, although it would not pose a significant obstacle to his current performance.

With his focus on the next race in Jerez, Bastianini showed confidence in his ability to achieve good results and meet the challenges presented by the technical circuit. He stressed the importance of staying focused, working as a team and maintaining a positive approach to achieve success in MotoGP.

As the 2024 season progresses, fans are waiting with bated breath to see how Enea Bastianini and his competitors will fare in the coming races, as the battle for supremacy in MotoGP heats up.
