“I have done everything I could and tomorrow will be different, as it could be more competitive because I will use a tire that I prefer,” explained the Italian.
“It is an important weekend to pick up points and do as much as possible, but without at any time pushing too hard”
Francesco “Pecco” Bagnaia (Ducati Desmosedici GP23), leader of the MotoGP world championship and third in the sprint race of the San Marino Grand Prix, has been satisfied with the result, because after his accident he thinks that “It is an important weekend to pick up points and do as much as possible, but without at any time pushing too hard”.
Bagnaia suffered a fall in the first lap of the Catalunya Grand Prix in which the KTM RC 16 of South African rider Brad Binder ran over his legs and although he did not suffer any fractures, he does have a lot of discomfort and a notable limp in his right leg.
“I think it has been a very motivating result, because it was not expected and it was surely easier to have taken a weekend off to return to one hundred percent since there could be complications on a physical level during the week, but it was important not to get overconfident. and that’s why I am very satisfied and proud,” explains the current world champion.
“I have done everything I could and tomorrow will be different, as it could be more competitive because I will use a tire that I prefer., but from third to go to second or first is very difficult, we’ll see. Jorge at the moment has an advantage from all points of view, he is very fast, he has a lot of perseverance and he feels well and has not had bad luck, so he is at a higher level and it will be difficult to beat him,” Bagnaia acknowledges.
The Ducati rider acknowledged some critical moments after the race due to the effort Well, “there have been some intense moments, a little critical in the physical aspect, because we knew it could be like that and we had to save something for tomorrow’s race in the physical aspect because it is going to be very important.”
