Pecco Bagnaia makes self-criticism

Pecco Bagnaia finished first in pre-qualifying for the Barcelona Grand Prix. "É it was a great session – he admitted to the microphones of Sky Sport – Unfortunately, we had a little bad luck with the soft behind at the beginning of the session that got a puncture. I felt that lap after lap the tire was moving more and more but I didn’t think it was that. So I had to switch to medium but I è felt sorry because I wanted to put more laps on the first soft. When I put on the time attack tires I felt a good difference from the medium, and I was happy".

"We did a good job and everything we had to do: I am happy – added the Ducati centaur -. Compared to May there’è a different grip: not è only temperature, but è just the grip that tends to make the bike slide even more. We did not try the hard front, which è was the tire that allowed several riders to be fast. Tomorrow we will also focus on that, but overall we did a great job".

So he was self-critical: "Ranking? If I am in this situation è becauseé in several episodes I made mistakes. Falls can happen: I had eight zeros, four through my own fault and four not. In a season you cannot afford all these mistakes. The fact that I can say I won ten races è something that makes me very proud and makes me realize how much I still have to work on so many aspects. From next year we need to take another step forward".

Closing remark on the crash at the end of free practice: "I aborted the starting practice and came in slow in turn-1. When I heard Maverick passing me from the’outside, my bike è closed and I gave a sharp blow on the side. It was a situation that could have been avoided, I also could have avoided being the but I did not think that in the starting practice this";could happen.
