MotoGp, Ducati: Pecco Bagnaia does not hide disappointment

Pecco Bagnaia sincere: "I expected moreù"

Despite finishing among the top three in the MotoGp sprint race at Motegi, Pecco Bagnaia did not è seem particularly satisfied with the feeling with his Ducati. On the sidelines of the short race in which he è finished behind Jorge Martin and Brad Binder, Bagnaia clearly said he expected more from today.

"We have to be happy but honestly I was expecting more – said the reigning world champion of the premier class. “Però I was in trouble with the grip at the rear wheel, today’s result was the maximum we could have achieved".

" However, we worked well and the result all in all was not è bad – added Bagnaia -. Congratulations to Jorge, è in his best moment and there is no doubt his performance is outstanding. From our side we must remain calm, tomorrow will be another story".

Bagnaia, with today’s result, remains the leader in the overall standings with 299 points, but he sees his gap narrowing again compared to Martin, who with the victory in the Sprint race rises to 291. A wafer-thin margin, just 8 points, with one weekend to complete and six more to go to conclude an increasingly compelling season.
