Pecco Bagnaia: "In sprints I arrive in the position from where I start"
These are the words of Francesco Bagnaia, commenting to Sky Sports his third place in the sprint race of the Spanish Grand Prix at the Jerez de la Frontera circuit.
“It was a classic sprint, as is happening a lot. In these races where I start I arrive, it is difficult for me to overtake or at any rate I struggle to find myself in a situation where I can overtake”.
“I start and I always find myself from seven tenths to one second from the rider in front and when I try to get closer I start to have big problems with the front tire”, added the Ducati rider.”
“The same thing happened here – continued Pecco -I started off pretty fast, I left a little bit’ of space for Alex Marquez but when I tried to get closer I started to really risk a lot and at that point I got third”.
The Ducati Corse dg, Gigi Dall’Igna, also confirmed the Piedmontese rider’s problems in short races. “I expected a bit’ more from him however third place is still an important result – he said -. In sprints he always has some difficulties that we will have to work to solve. Tomorrow the race I think will be different, as it often is. He always performs much better on Sundays”.
