ficult it can be for a new rider to adapt to a factory team. However, it would be premature to label the Bastianini/works Ducati tie-up as a lost cause based on one season alone. Bastianini showed great potential in 2022, and his injuries may have played a significant role in his struggles in 2023.

Nonetheless, there might still be a noticeable difference between them, even if Bastianini performs better than before.
