Francesco Bagnaia is currently in a fierce competition for second place in the MotoGP World Championship, vying with Jorge Martín, who races for Prima Pramac on a satellite Ducati team. Bagnaia, representing the official Ducati team, has been working hard to secure his position, and naturally, questions have arisen about whether his teammate, Enea Bastianini, might assist him in the title race through team strategies.

However, Bastianini has made it clear that such expectations are unlikely to be fulfilled. The Italian rider, who is also fighting his own battle for third place against Marc Márquez from Gresini Racing, sees the competition as an individual challenge. He firmly believes that each rider should focus on their own performance rather than engaging in team tactics.

In a recent statement, Bastianini emphasized his perspective, explaining that once on the track, every rider is a competitor. Speaking to GPOne.com, he stated, “Everyone has to think about themselves. When we are racing, we are opponents, and anyone who says differently is not being honest. I need to focus on my own championship.”

This stance underscores the highly competitive and individualistic nature of MotoGP, where alliances and team orders often take a backseat to personal ambition. Bastianini’s primary goal remains securing his own standing in the championship, and it’s evident that he won’t sacrifice his own opportunities for the sake of team dynamics.

As the MotoGP season continues, it remains to be seen whether Bastianini’s approach will affect Ducati’s overall strategy. For now, his focus is squarely on his personal success, a mindset shared by many in this high-stakes sport where every point counts and every race can make or break a rider’s season.
