Enea Bastianini heads into his home round of M꧃isano following a season best ✱MotoGP performance in Aragon. 

The Italian rookie came from ninth -꧅ also his best qualifying position of the season to claim sixth place after picking off some impressive name⛦s late on. 

During the early stages Bastianini actually lost places, however, the Esponsorama Ducati rider re๊grouped before a lengthy battle with championship leader Fabio Quartararo and Takaaki Nakagami. 

After finally getting the better of the �🃏�Yamaha rider for ninth, Bastianini then got past Iker Lecuona before chasing down two of the last three race winners in MotoGP. 

Bastianini made light work of Jorge Martin and then KTM rider Brad Binder who is usually the one making lat🍌e race moves. 

Speaking after his best result of the season, Bastianini added: "My feeli𒅌ng is really nice because it was a perfect weekend. It was important to arriv🥃e in this race. 

"It’s fantastic to get this six🐼th place today and I battled a lot every laps with Fabio [Quartararo], with Taka [Nakagami]. 

"In the last five l𓆏aps I battle🗹d with Jorge Martin and Binder, and I arrived in front of them. 

"It’s a great result for me and also for my team. Now I’m more confident ꦓfor Misano, but we have to stay concentrated for all the week like here. 

"After we will see what we can do and if it🃏 is possible to try and do better or not. But, I will try m꧑y best to do it again."

While his Aragon result might have come as a surprise to some, Bastianini has looked more and more comfo♑rtabl൩e in recent rounds. 

Aside from a couple of 💟crashes at Silverstone which impacted his 𝔉weekend, the former Moto2 champion showed impressive speed at that venue to still come away with 12th - a result he managed at the second Austrian round.
