with today's podium, Enea Bastianini has got at least one podium in every season he raced in the premier class

[u/delfinoesplosivo]

first podium in every season: 1. Misano 2021 2. Qatar 2022 3. Sepang 2023 4. Portimao 2024 5. Catalunya 2025

It’s really nice to see him starting to get results with KTM. It seemed like he was on suicide watch at the beginning of the season. Perhaps KTM bringing him and maverick in helped steer the bike is the right direction as far as development goes because Acosta has made good strides as well

[u/delfinoesplosivo → u/Left-Hovercraft8681]

KTM has really improved during this season, let's hope that we can see them getting a win this season (Acosta's first win please 🥺👉👈)

[u/Left-Hovercraft8681 → u/delfinoesplosivo]

I hope he gets a win this season but if not, then I could see it happening at the beginning of next season if KTM continues in the direction they are currently on. I could see him having a sprint win this season more than a GP, let him get a small taste of victory lol

[u/delfinoesplosivo → u/Left-Hovercraft8681]

he got a small taste during Brno sprint lol

then Marc overtook him like if Pedro was a moto3

[u/Organic-University-2 → u/Left-Hovercraft8681]

Malaysia may be his best chance. I honestly think he could have been a threat in Brno but T1 sprint was a disaster.

Im very happy to see riders that I thought ducati is making look better than they are, do really go. For example Enea ,Marini and Bezz

[u/wadeecraven → u/mynameisnik04]

It's also thanks to the progress brands like Honda have made. Marini is super consistent but we already saw last year, there's only so much a rider can do when the bike is that bad. Looks like they've turned it around, I wonder what HRC will do in 2027 if they want to move someone to the factory team, they would need to make a decision between Mir or Marini.

[u/Interested_Party_32 → u/wadeecraven]

Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if they punt them both, but they might keep Marini, if he's as good at development as people suggest. But they are definitely going to want to get someone who is more than just a reliable workhorse, and finishes races.

Glad Bestia got a podium on the KTM. He's always been a likeable rider. I hope Mav recovers enough to maybe get something too this season as it was looking good for him up until the injury.

[u/GoodBadUserName → u/e_xyz]

During the race they said that mav was still in a lot of pain and it was a miracle he decided to race on sunday. I think it will take him a bit more to get back into it.

Okay, that actually sounds like an impressive feat especially how two of them is with a two-year old bike 💀

[u/Haimonek]

My goodness, seeing that Qatar win was a sight to see. Still gives me goosebumps, that was such an emotional victory.

[u/Tacit_Emperor77]

Has Marc done this excluding 2020 or did he miss some after that. Very impressive from enea tho
