Enea Bastianini is hopeful for a strong weekend in Barcelona after a disappointing end to the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Last time out at the Hungarian Grand Prix, Enea Bastianini had a positive start tos his weekend at the Balaton Park Circuit.

However, in the Sprint Race and Grand Prix, the Italian was involved in crashes across both races and walked away with no points to his name.

But Bastianini and Red Bull KTM Tech3 are confident they could be in for a positive weekend at the Catalan Grand Prix.

"I am very keen on Barcelona race weekend because we have left Hungary with more hunger for better results after our two crashes in the opening lap of both sprint and main race," Bastianini said.

"Balaton was really positive anyway in terms of performance, our pace was competitive and we could get our best qualifying result of the season. So, we are looking forward to reaching Catalunya and seeing what we will be able to do on this track with our bike.

"It is an interesting layout, with a lot of flow, strong hard-braking points but with also many acceleration areas. I am confident that we can keep building from the last rounds, all very positive for us."

Nicolas Goyon, Team Manager, added: "We are approaching the last back-to-back rounds in Europe before the flyaways, and we start first with the Grand Prix of Catalunya, in Barcelona. It is a track very well known by all MotoGP riders, so it is usually a very competitive race weekend.

"It is known for its very low grip, but Enea Bastianini is very good when it comes to managing his tires in these conditions, so it can be an advantage for him. He left Hungary frustrated, with zero points, after reaching his best 2025 grid position, but a huge step forward was made in the last 3 rounds, and we are now confident that Enea has the potential to place his bike at the front now more constantly.

"Nevertheless, Catalunya’s track is different from the last few circuits, so it will be interesting for the Italian to understand his level on this type of layout."
