Enea Bastianini went from a hospital bed last weekend to the Brno MotoGP Sprint rostrum, joking that he’s faster after a bout of severe food poisoning.
Italian rider Enea Bastianini achieved a surprising podium finish with KTM at the Czech Republic MotoGP in Brno after recovering from severe food poisoning the week before. He finished just half-a-second behind Pedro Acosta, his factory KTM teammate. Despite missing races and struggling with his health, Bastianini was only 1.3 seconds behind race winner Marc Marquez. This successful result in Brno marked a significant improvement for Bastianini, who had struggled to find his form since switching to KTM. Bastianini’s positive outlook and determination, despite challenges, contributed to his impressive performance in Brno. Additionally, his lack of Ducati riding memories at Brno played to his advantage, giving him a fresh perspective and boosting his confidence for future races.
