Enea Bastianini warns KTM it’s “impossible to continue” like this.
Last season’s double Ducati winner at Silverstone, Enea Bastianini, labeled the 2025 British MotoGP as “probably the worst race of my career” after struggling to adapt his riding style on the RC16.
Despite a 15th place in the Silverstone Sprint, Bastianini finished 17th in the grand prix and was 38 seconds behind race winner Marco Bezzecchi, serving a long lap penalty from Le Mans.
The Italian rider was significantly behind the next competitor, Miguel Oliveira, and even a 16-second post-race penalty did not affect his result, with only injured LCR rookie Somkiat Chantra and Aprilia stand-in Lorenzo Savadori trailing behind.
Expressing his frustration, Bastianini remarked that the race was challenging due to his struggles with bike handling and throttle control, feeling compelled to consider retiring during the race.
Bastianini is calling for more technical support from KTM for the upcoming Aragon race, emphasizing the need for improvements to his current performance and race results.
