Ducati, Pecco Bagnaia destroyed: "I was put to the test"

The Ducati centaur Pecco Bagnaia at Sky microphones commented on his performance in the Grand Prix of Portugal, which ended with a fall: “For sure there&#8217s been a small step forward compared to the Sprint, although I was not fast enough to fight for the podium. Fourth place was within reach, I was pushing hard because I wanted to get as far ahead as I could, but my front ended, as happened at Phillip Island. When you push it can happen”.

For Bagnaia another weekend to forget: “If I can&#8217t wait for the season to end? I am just trying to do the best I can, I want to close with a good test in Valencia. Did Bezzecchi overtake me in the overall standings? He certainly deserves third place more than me”.

.

On the end-of-year tests, he summed it up this way: “This year has put me to the test, the tests will be able to direct a little bit, even if the Valencia ones are not fundamental for the 2026 development. However, I hope with all my heart that the feeling can be better than it has been so far”.
