P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Tech3 hoping last year’s British MotoGP double can help Enea Bastianini “click” on the KTM this weekend.
Enea Bastianini, returning to Silverstone after a dominant 2024 British MotoGP performance, now rides for Tech3 KTM with hope rather than expectation.
Although he clinched victories as a Ducati rider last season, he has struggled to match that success on the KTM, with his best result being a seventh place at COTA.
Despite facing a long lap penalty at Silverstone due to a prior incident with Francesco Bagnaia at Le Mans, Bastianini is motivated to perform well at a track where he has excelled before.
Team manager Nicolas Goyon believes Silverstone could be where Bastianini finally ‘clicks’ with the KTM package, building on his previous success at the circuit.
While serving the penalty will pose a challenge, Bastianini remains focused on delivering a strong performance throughout the race weekend to secure a better grid position before facing the penalty.
