Ducati, Pecco Bagnaia doesn’t let it get him down and makes an'admission

Even the third weekend of the season started decidedly uphill for Pecco Bagnaia, who took off the pass for Q2 in the pre-qualifying session in Austin mocking Fabio Quartararo by just 120 thousandths. Speaking to the microphones of “Sky Sport MotoGp”, the Ducati centaur bluntly analyzed his tenth place.

“The conditions were not the best. I chose to still go with the soft tire on the front, but I couldn&#8217t take advantage of the situation at all. However, I am in the ten, so all in all it” began the centaur from Piedmont.

“I struggled a little bit’ only in Turn 1, but otherwise it went very well. I take pretty much all the gap in the first two sectors, which is where you have to take advantage of the soft d’forward and I couldn&#8217t do that. It’s a shame, but the goal was to be in the ten and the feeling with the bike is good” continued the Ducati rider.

“I had a lot of margin, but with the soft tire I felt I was struggling on corner entry, so I preferred not to risk too much. I already looked at the data of those who could exploit it well like Marc, and I was losing a life in all phases of entry. Overall, I did not take unnecessary risks, because the’important thing was to stay in the ten and we succeeded” added the number 63.

“I feel good, comfortable. I know how much I pushed and how much the others did, so I am quite calm. We are working and I think we are now in the right direction. I definitely feel better than the last two GPs. I know my potential and I know where I can go. Even the others know that these results are not my best, so I don’t need to put extra pressure on myself” concluded Pecco Bagnaia.
