Ducati, Davide Tardozzi defends Pecco Bagnaia

Ducati team manager Davide Tardozzi defended Pecco Bagnaia to the microphones of Motosprint after the world champion’s crash in Argentina: “I heard what Bagnaia said as soon as he came in. He made a big mistake, but there are still 19 races to go and I think from Austin onwards Pecco will have the opportunity to redeem himself.”

“He has not lost our confidence and we are convinced that in Texas he will be very fast again,” Tardozzi continued. “He has analyzed everything in detail with his engineers, he is particularly suffering from that accident because he knew he should not have done it, he knew he had to take points. You have to take points in the first part of the season and then attack in the second, as I have been telling him all winter. He metabolized it and unfortunately he made a mistake, but we can’t crucify him. We have to support him and help him.”
