MotoGP, Pecco Bagnaia worried: "I’m back to the problems of Misano"

After shining in Motegi, home of the Japanese GP, Pecco Bagnaia came out dark in the face at the end of free practice at Mandalika. L’azzurro never found the right feeling with his Ducati, finishing 17th in the second free practice session (not well either Marc Marquez, 11th final time).

“What went wrong? I would like to know what happened, too. It’s not a track in my league, I’ve always struggled a bit here. I don’t really digest this track. When the grip behind is erratic, I struggle more. It takes me three laps to run the soft, eight with the medium. For my part, I haven’t found the feeling I had in Japan. I feel like I am back in Misano, with the same problems”, his words to Sky Sport.

The two-time World Champion added the following: “If I had the feeling of Motegi I would not worry, instead I am far behind. I have no way to take advantage of the grip. Everything is very difficult to handle”.

The Ducati rider is lucid in explaining what he plans to do to improve a situation that, at the moment, is dramatic: “I have to understand what is limiting us. For Saturday it will be important to do at least three laps because in the first two laps the tire does not work”.
