Enea Bastianini currently occupies the third position in the MotoGP world rankings. The Rimini native has 22 lengths behind Jorge Martin And 5 detachment from teammate Francesco Bagnaia, which however surpassed him today. All things considered, Beast he has more points than those who have attracted the spotlight, like Pedro AcostaMaverick Viñales and Marc Marquez. Few, but still more.
Aeneas’ strength, up to now, has been consistency of performancehaving finished every Grand Prix between top five. Nobody else can say he did the same, because the leader of the overall ranking ended up on the ground today, the reigning World Champion suffered the same fate in Portugal, the old fox of Team Gresini found himself in the gravel both in Portimao and in Austin , Top Gun and El tiburòn de Marrazon they travel on alternating current.
The question to ask is whether Bastianini can represent a serious contender for the title, or if he finds himself at altitude only thanks to a series of circumstances and the fact that regularity is an added value, especially in the short term. For now, with only four matches out of twenty-one in the archive, the Romagna native must necessarily be taken into consideration, especially in an unpredictable championship, with forehead reversals even on the same weekend.

It goes without sayingto be truly competitive from a world championship perspective, Beast must obligatorily raise the bar and start scratching with i own claws. You can only win a World Cup if the others play “chapa no” – ask Joan Mir for the instruction booklet on the subject – but if someone is able to taking victory after victorythose who run as “beta” are forced to settle for what will be left available by the leader of the pack.
However, it is very interesting to note how Bastianini has taken on, at least in this initial phase of the season, the contours of the “regularist”, in complete antithesis with the past. If this is the best he can give, then he promises to be a great season. Conversely, if he were to grow in level, watch out for who could take on the contours of the “Dark Horse” in the race for success most coveted crown.
