Ducati, Bagnaia "too much gentleman": comes Tardozzi’s baton

The Ducati miniseries "Dream on: Ducati and Bagnaia's Pursuit of Glory", posted on Youtube, has revealed some interested behind-the-scenes footage from the last three races of the MotoGP World Championship and Pecco Bagnaia’s desperate, and then failed, comeback against team Pramac rider Jorge Martin.

One of the mostù interesting refers to the Thai Grand Prix: in Saturday’s Sprint race, Bagnaia had finished third behind Bastianini and Martin, and in the post-race, team manager Davide Tardozzi had groomed the number one: "Martin had the guts to throw you out, he had already decided to come and annoy you and he did his duty", the words reported by Gpone.com.

"You can’t be just a gentleman all the time becauseé then this goes in your c…o. You have to stop being too much of a gentleman or he’ll mess with you", he had concluded his reasoning Tardozzi.

On Sunday Bagnaia won the Grand Prix and moved closer in the overall standings.
