Pecco Bagnaia bluntly: “It’s almost impossible.”
The words of Pecco Bagnaia
Pecco Bagnaia spoke hot on the crash that may have cost him the world title: "Unfortunately, on that lap lì I braked a little bit’; slower to not get to the limit and I had to do more riding. Lì there’è a pothole, I caught it and the bike è closed. Unfortunately, we know how critical Turn 9 is, and getting there slower and, more importantly, with more of an angle at that stage, the ì on the pothole, è what brought me down. Unfortunately it happens. It was not supposed to happen, but it does happen. Jorge è was definitely smart and good. It amazed me, becauseé the pace was not so fast in that stage lì, but anything canò always happen".
"During the weekend I never found myself behind anyone. I braked moreù slowly becauseé the lap before, being in my slipstream, had sucked me in enough and I didn’t want to risk it. In order not to risk it I ended up laying down anyway. I went in a little bit’ slower, I did the narrower run to try to make up what I had lost in the entry phase, and it è closed".
“I didn’t make any mistakes all weekend and in general I don’t make many on weekends, except in the races and especially in the Sprints. Unfortunately Jorge è has been better than me in the Sprints this year, and now anyway with a gap of 29 points è almost impossible, but until mathematically ité is not closed we will do our best. We are in the situation where only Jorge canò lose it, so we will have toà do the maximum, but not enoughà only that“, the words to the microphones of Sky Sport.
"I did first in all sessions, but the most important thing is the races. Unfortunately, the Sprints are not in my league, I struggle more to find the same competitiveness that I have in practice or the long race. We will understand why, but è it has been like this since last year. Tomorrow I will start and give my 100 percent, but it’s not enough. If we want to makeì that there is a chance, it takes someone to get in the way, but in the end we are clearly faster, so è difficult even that Jorge can finish third or fourth", concluded Bagnaia.
