MotoGP, Pecco Bagnaia feels in great shape

Here are the words of Francesco "Pecco" Bagnaia, two-time MotoGP world champion, in the press conference on the eve of the three-day Qatar Grand Prix, the opening race of the 2024 MotoGP season. The quotes are taken from formulapassion.it.

“What I can say è I feel in good shape. We worked very well during testing and managed to do all the planned work.The feeling on the bike è good, apparently this year’s bike è extremely competitive”.

“The’winter è been short, but good. Taking off after the season è always difficult, between events and training. Basically 2 weeks off, I was in Mexico and è it was great. Today è it’s hard to get to this level without always being focused on what you’re doing and the Sprints have increased the workload. Maybe the break è too short. Physically I follow the directions of my trainer”.

“Winning 3 titles would be better than 2. I will try; I will do my best. The performance of the bike is there’è the team è fantastic. Head down and push hard to try to reconfirm. After the 2 world championships I don’t feel different, I have the same ambition. We work in the same way in the pits and at home and I want to continue like this;.Arriving here in Qatar è always fantastic, you fill the paddock with life. Lusail è the best setting to start the season”.

“The fact of having renewed è important for me and for Ducati. This frees my mind and I can focus exclusively on results. We started talking about the renewal last year. We were all going in the same direction, there’was mutual willingness. There ’è was plenty of time to do it without pressure. For me è it was easy and we are all happy”.

“Marquez my rival? We will see, we are here to fight and find out who will be; the main opponent. He è Marc Marquez and he will be fast. In braking and corner entry the new bike è better. Last year with the GP23 on Friday we were starting to struggle and we had to work so much. With the new bike I started to feel better and I could improve the feeling”.
