New Ducati exalts Pecco Bagnaia: “Better than last year.”

The hopes and ambition are to do better and better.

Pecco Bagnaia is enjoying an exciting start to the season in MotoGP, and on arrival in Portimao he talks about a Ducati that is even stronger than the one that allowed him to become world champion in 2023. The Piedmontese rider, specifically, claims that the new Desmosedici is even more suited to his way of riding than the previous one. With all the benefits that this brings, both in terms of confidence and performance.

"I have the impression that the Desmosedici GP24 is better than the GP23 for my riding style,” Bagnaia explained to the press present in Portugal. “It gives me something that the previous bike did not give me, and I was able to adapt rather quickly. As for lap times, the difference is not è huge, but the sensations are definitely better. In Portimao, then, the bike adjustments make less of a difference than elsewhere. Fundamental è the feeling that the rider finds on the track".

"The one at Portimao, then, è one of my absolute favorite circuits in the world championship. I love the elevation changes, it feels like something between Mugello and Sachsenring. I always like to come and ride here, where moreover last year we did very well. I have great confidence, I can not wait for the weekend to begin", added Bagnaia about the track that will host the Grand Prix of Portugal.
