Enea Bastianini (born 30 December 1997), nicknamed "La Bestia" (The Beast), is an Italian
Career
Early career
Born in Rimini, Bastianini first rode a minibike aged 3 years and 3 months: hence his racing number, 33. After a successful career in minibike racing, Bastianini raced successfully in various categories, including the Honda HIRP Trophy 100cc, the MiniGP 70cc Italian Championship and the Honda RS125 Trophy, where he finished as champion during the 2012 season.[1] In 2013, Bastianini competed in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, where he took two victories en route to a fourth-place finish in the championship. Bastianini also took his first steps in Moto3, participating in five races of the Italian Championship.
Moto3 World Championship
In 2014, Bastianini made his debut in the Moto3 World Championship riding for Team GO&FUN Moto3.

Moto2 World Championship
Italtrans Racing Team (2019–2020)
2019
In 2019, he joined Italtrans Racing Team and finished the season in 10th place taking 97 points with 1 podium.
2020
He finished the
MotoGP World Championship
Avintia Esponsorama Racing (2021)
He signed with Esponsorama Racing for the 2021 MotoGP season and was partnered with Moto2 rival and compatriot Luca Marini.[4] Both Bastianini and Marini rode two-year-old specification Ducati GP19 bikes the whole season. Bastianini scored points consistently during the season, before getting his then best result in Aragon in 6th position, followed by a 3rd-place finish in Misano, a repeat 6th-place finish again in COTA, and a repeated 3rd-place finish again at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Misano during the last lap. Bastianini finished the season 11th in the riders' standings with 102 points.
Gresini Racing MotoGP (2022)

Bastianini won the first race of the 2022 MotoGP season, the 2022 Qatar Grand Prix and became the championship leader.[5] Gresini Racing and Bastianini made history by winning with a 2021-specification Ducati Desmosedici GP21.[6] After mid-pack results in Indonesia and Argentina, where he took P11 and P10 respectively, he took his second win at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin. This was followed by a DNF in Portugal and P8 in Jerez. At the French Grand Prix in Le Mans, Bastianini took another win, after overtaking both factory Ducatis to return to the top step of the podium. This win meant he was just eight points adrift of championship leader Fabio Quartararo after seven rounds. He returned again to the podium with a 2nd-place finish in at the San Marino Grand Prix. Bastianini then took his fourth win of the season at the Aragón Grand Prix, then another 2nd-place finish at the Malaysian Grand Prix.
Ducati Lenovo Team (2023–present)
Bastianini switched to Ducati Lenovo Team for the 2023 MotoGP World Championship, replacing Jack Miller and partnering Francesco Bagnaia.[7] Bastianini never felt comfortable with the Ducati Desmosedici GP23, which he attributed to a vastly different front end feeling as compared to the Desmosedici GP21 he rode to 4 victories in the previous season.
Bastianini was forced to miss the opening three rounds of the season through injury after being involved in a first lap incident instigated by Luca Marini at the 2023 Portuguese motorcycle Grand Prix.[8][9] After a first lap incident at the 2023 Catalan motorcycle Grand Prix, he had to subsequently miss the following three rounds at San Marino, India and Japan due to injuries.
Bastianini produced an impressive comeback after a complicated 2023 season by grabbing a dominant victory at the 2023 Malaysian motorcycle Grand Prix.
Bastianini after having fully recovered from his injuries from 2023, performed well in the 2024 MotoGP World Championship pre-season tests and took a liking to the 2024 Ducati Desmosedici GP24 immediately. He started the season in strong form and secured pole position and his first podium of the season at the 2024 Portguese Grand Prix.
