Enea Bastianini’s KTM MotoGP resurgence faces a major test in this final stretch of the season
Enea Bastianini’s KTM MotoGP resurgence faces a major test with the sudden split from his crew chief, Alberto Giribuola, during the final stretch of the season.
Giribuola was instrumental in Bastianini’s success, guiding him to become a frontrunner at Gresini Ducati before his move to KTM.
The crew chief change, often signaling behind-the-scenes drama, raises questions about the impact on Bastianini’s performance.
Xavi Palacin has stepped in as Bastianini’s new crew chief, taking over from Giribuola mid-season.
The split with Giribuola, known as ‘Pigiamino’ or pyjamas, may have been a difficult decision for Bastianini, but he remains focused on continuing his success with a new team.
The true extent of Giribuola’s influence on Bastianini’s achievements is now under scrutiny as the season progresses.
