Bastianini’s victories were a testament to his impressive form and racecraft. Although he narrowly missed

securing pole position, his domination in both the Sprint and the main race secured him a crucial 37 points.

This performance has garnered praise from Carlo Pernat, Bastianini’s manager, who emphasized the significance of this achievement.

Pernat stated, “It was Bastianini’s day; the Italian narrowly missed pole but won both the Sprint and the GP. These 37 points are crucial and demonstrate the rider’s true value.”

Looking ahead, Pernat remains optimistic about Bastianini’s prospects for the championship.

With ten Grand Prix remaining and a total of 370 points up for grabs, Pernat believes Bastianini is well-positioned to contend for the title.
