The words of Pecco Bagnaia after the Sprint Race of the Portimao Gp

.

It ends with a mockery the Sprint Race of the Portimao Gp for Pecco Bagnaia. The Ducati centaur, in fact, after being in the lead for most of the race he è made himself the protagonist of a long with four laps to go, which caused him to lose three positions leading him to end the mini race in fourth position. At the microphones of "Sky Sport MotoGp", the two-time world champion è expressed himself bluntly on the error committed that denied him the victory.

"I was managing everything well, it was a race similar to Qatar in terms of feeling and management with the group behind, forò unfortunately I did not reckon with the gasoline that was going down. When I got there lì I lightened up more on the rear, until the bike è flagged me down. The only thing I tried to do at that point è was to avoid throwing it on the ground, so I widened the line a lot and lost positions because of the long" began the Ducati centaur.

"Now I’m just pissed off about this chapel. I don’t know if I would have been able to catch the trio in front. I could have tried, but I preferred not to take any chances. Six points is crucial, and to get that margin over second I was pushing hard enough with the tires. When something like that happens itè s not easy to get back into a rhythm, so itè s was important to finish the race. We’re still first in the standings becauseè Jorge finished third, so we can console ourselves with the fact that we didn’t lose too many points" added the two-time world champion.

"From that mistake onward I just tried to finish the race without taking any kind of risk, but unfortunately I made an error of judgment sil fact that I kept braking always in the same way. We have to try to keep more of the rear end, which seems to be more baller than usual, at bay ahead of tomorrow’s race. The Gp will be very different, with a tire that I like better and where these kinds of problems hardly come up. We know where we went wrong and how to fix it, but unfortunately these things happen" concluded Pecco Bagnaia.
