The words of Pecco Bagnaia

Pecco Bagnaia is not calm after qualifying in Valencia. “I’m okay, but I’m not too satisfied because we expected a better feeling on this track. Not with all the Ducatis, but we are struggling with the feeling on the front and we can’t be too consistent. Last year I was running with a very similar pace to this. I analyzed the PL4s of the last two years and they were the same, but last year I could ride with more ease, while today I struggle more, especially with the new tires. With the used ones we are all closer, while with the new ones the others can make a little more difference.”

“In the end anxiety and worries you have to live them as a good experience and that’s what I have to learn to do. With the used tires I don’t feel the performance drops that much, the problem is the new ones, when the others manage to find those two to three tenths less. It may be a problem in the race, but that is a separate moment, in I will have to focus only on the race itself. We’ll see tomorrow: I’ll try to get a good start, although replicating the Malaysian start here will be more difficult. But we will try.”
