Malaysian MotoGP winner Enea Bastianini says his sprint race in Valencia was impacted by a blocked fork on the front of his factory Ducati bike.
Bastianini has been consistently fast in races since his return from injury but has struggled with poor starting positions. In the sprint at Valencia, he encountered issues behind Jack Miller and had mechanical problems on the opening lap. He had to ride with a blocked fork and couldn’t unlock it, which hindered his performance. There are speculations that if Jorge Martin wins the title, Ducati might relegate Bastianini to the Pramac team. However, Bastianini hopes that Francesco Bagnaia retains his crown and believes he will be competitive in the main race.
