Pecco Bagnaia bows to Marc and Alex Marquez
The words of Pecco Bagnaia
Start of the season decidedly uphill for Pecco Bagnaia,who, after being forced to start from Q1, did not è manage to go beyond third place in the Sprint Race of the Gp of Thaliandia behind the two Marquez brothers. Speaking to the microphones of "Sky Sport MotoGp", the Piedmontese centaur, in addition to hotly analyzing his performance, wanted to recognize the superiority of Marc and Alex in this start of the weekend in Thailand.
"I tried, but Marc and Alex were going harder. With the hard I struggled a little bit in the first few laps, then I tried to close the gap. In the Sprints I always struggle to get close and brake as hard as I would like. But anyway, considering the testing and what è happened yesterday, it's fine. We knew the pace was good, so I tried to give it my all. For tomorrow I have several things on my mind, we will see how to solve them. I am 60% satisfied" began the Ducati centaur.
"If I’m in front I’m fine, but if I’m behind I’m really struggling to brake the way I want to. I am also working on it technically, but in any case è something I have to improve on becauseé sometimes I am extremely fast, but there are tracks where I have a lot of difficulties. Here last year I did more or less the same race. I know there'è to make a step and I am working on it" added the Piedmontese pilot.
"If I could go back, I still would have chosen the hard one, but Marc and Alex today simply did better than me, there'è not much to say. They started better, especially taking better advantage of the bike in the first few laps. After that I was able to get closer and stay more or less on the same gap, but I è lacked the initial cue and didn't expect such a drop off from the hard tire. I struggled a lot in the right turns. We will analyze everything in view of tomorrow" concluded Pecco Bagnaia.
