Pecco Bagnaia (Ducati): “Jerez is very good” / MotoGP

After a class one win in the season opener, world champion Pecco Bagnaia dropped back significantly in the next two races in Portimao and Austin. The Italian traveled to Jerez fifth in the World Championship, but after just three races the gap is still narrow. From the point of view of #1, the retirement and accident of the Portuguese doctor was very annoying.

However, just looking at the Jerez stats, Bagnaia enters the fourth MotoGP weekend as the clear favourite. In the last two years, the native of Turin has been at the top of the winner’s podium.

The Ducati Lenovo star goes into the Spanish MotoGP festival full of hope. “I’m not alone in this, but I also really like Jerez, the track is one of my favourites. I had a dream to come here and even today I still feel good. It’s just a great piste, the layout, the stop phases and the flow of the turns is great. “

But Francesco Bagnaia does not come to Andalusia without any worries. Current GP24 specifications cause speech problems for all pilots under certain conditions. When asked about it, Pecco Bagnaia says: “It is true that we have this problem. In the USA it stopped us, but we also have ideas of how we can solve it and together we were able to take a lot of data with us.

Bagnaia continues: “The real problem is that earthquakes don’t happen all the time. It wanders. Sometimes it is weak, sometimes more intense and it also occurs in other places. Of course, it is also related to the constant development of tires and modified designs. I hope we can handle this well here. It will still take some time, but I believe that we can overcome the things that currently prevent us from using our full potential.”

World champion Bagnaia also discussed the preparatory work of the test team. “The important thing is that we tried a lot with Michele and tried a lot – and there was no problem with the negotiations.

In the World Cup table, the number 1 Ducati is only in third place in the World Cup table. So you can expect striker Pecco Bagnaia who will do everything in his power to get his third win in a row.
