Ducati, Pecco Bagnaia explains the choice of number for 2023

Bagnaia is still undecided on the number for 2023

On the day he was received by President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella, newly crowned MotoGp world champion Pecco Bagnaia spoke to ANSA’s microphones, explaining the issue regarding the choice of number.

“We’ll see, it’s a decision I’ll make later, I don’t feel like choosing yet,” said the Ducati centaur.

“I will always be myself, as I have always been. My character will be created based on results, which is what I’m looking for. So we’ll see,” Bagnaia continued.

Francesco, aka ‘Pecco,’ Bagnaia after winning the Moto2 world championship in 2018 with Sky Racing Team VR46, makes his MotoGp debut in 2019 riding the Ducati of Team Pramac Racing. In September 2020, he scores his first podium in the top MotoGP category in Misano.

The following year he switched to the factory Ducati team and finished the championship in second place, behind Yamaha’s French rider Fabio Quartararo. In 2022, in his second year with the Borgo Panigale-based Rossa, he clinched his first world title in MotoGp, at the end of a spectacular comeback over defending champion Fabio Quartararo, who during the course of the season had come as close as 91 points ahead of Bagnaia.
