Pecco Bagnaia smiles through gritted teeth

The words of Pecco Bagnaia

Pecco Bagnaia è returned to the track after the bad crash in Aragon on Friday of free practice in Misano: "I grit my teeth, unfortunately I also thought I would arrive moreù in shape to this weekend – the words to Sky of the Ducati rider, who finished with the best time -. In the morning without painkillers è it was really hard. Especially at the beginning of the session, when I was a bit cold. Then as I warmed up things got better. In the end, however, I found the square to be able to go strong without focusing too much on the pain".

" I have a big edema on my collarbone, my ribs also hurt a lot, I get the twinges on the changes of direction – explained the three-time rainbow winner -. The neck instead è very stressed at the curve, forò at the end the quadra I found it and I do not look for excuses. The tires for the Sprint? I saw Martin being able to do a lot of laps even on soft, so there should be no problem. The medium however è confirmed to be very stable and fast, the choice will not be easy. Marc and Jorge will be my two main rivals, although we all have different styles".

With the engines off, Bastianini also spoke: "With the medium I found myself badly, I lacked grip. The Sprint tire will beà definitely the soft, who knowsà if it will be; also for the long race. We will see what will come out tomorrow. Definitely with the soft I had a good pace and a good feeling. In braking I’m pretty good, I hope to start in front so I don’t overtake too much…. It will be; a race similar to the others, with many Ducatis in front and Marquez in great shape. It will beà a tough battle, certainly 71 points are a lot to make up, but as long as we cané I will tryò".
