JAKARTA - Gresini Racing racer, Enea Bastianini made a surprise as far as the 2022 MotoGP event. Until the fourth series he was able to become the leader of the temporary standings.

The fifth MotoGP series will be held at the Portimao Circuit, Portugal. The title will be a marker for MotoGP entering the European circuit.

Bastianini said, the Portimao Circuit is a place that has a challenging track. Although not easy, Bastianini will try to enjoy the sensation of racing there.

"Portimao is a beautiful track, very technical and a lot of ups and downs." said La Bestia, nicknamed Bastianini, quoted from GPone, Wednesday.

"A very interesting track overall. We got there in a really good mood after the weekend in Austin. We were able to be competitive from the start and the win was a nice bonus."

If you look back, Bastianini had a poor record when appearing at this circuit. While still a Moto2 racer, Bastianini did not manage to get a podium and only finished fourth.

At the Portuguese MotoGP which was held twice in Portimao, Bastianini was also not too flashy and was only able to finish ninth.

Even so, Bastianini is trying to enjoy his performance at Portimao later. But, apart from having fun and enjoying the race, Bastianini also reminded his whole team to stay focused.

"We just have to stay focused and keep working as a unit, like we've been doing all along and having fun which is the main thing."

Bastianini also touched on the race problem after Portimao, namely at Jerez. The reason is, Bastianini's record is still better when compared to Portimao.

"Regarding Jerez, this is a track where I know we can be fast because we tested it there and the gap will be smaller," said Bastianini.

"This is another track that I like and where we can do well."
