What options does Bagnaia have to win the MotoGP World Championship this season?

After the success of Pecco Bagnaia last weekend at the San Marino GP, few dared to bet against the Italian driver’s victory in the World Championship. The saying ‘everything is possible’ is true in racing, but the dynamics of the Ducati rider is a real roller.

that bagnaia has won the last four GPs, that he has six wins out of a possible 21 in 2022, or that he has climbed to the top of the podium ten times in the last twenty races is certainly a strong statistic, but the fact of cut he is much bigger than the current leader of the championship, Fabio Quartararo, 61 points in the last four GGPP. The French driver’s advantage has been reduced to 30 points with six races to go… Need to add any arguments to the answer about whether Pecco Bagnaia can he win the 2022 MotoGP World Champion title?

As was the case last year, this season is the beginning of bagnaia was hesitant, but when the doubts were cleared the group formed by Pecco and Ducati is being a real roller. In 2021 he added six podiums in the last eight GGPPs, four of them victories; the dynamic of this season finale is the same. Like his arguments: confidence and being on the best bike in the category.

To these two arguments we have to add the legion of Ducati in MotoGP -8 out of 24 bikes-, each of them is clearly superior to Yamaha where Fabio Quartararo is defending the crown it won last year. Making good that one eye is king in the country of the blind, the French pilot knows how to make the most of the technical problems of bagnaia in the first half of the season. But in the current phase of the championship, Quartararo is a kind of ship at the mercy of a storm called Ducati.

History repeated itself at the last GGPP in the form of starting grids with five, six and even seven Ducatis on the first three lines, with Quartararo and his Yamaha among them. However, due to the lack of a machine, blood, sweat and tears can overcome a Ducati In the race, his options are to make a good start and a limit maneuver in the first corner of the race would be nice. It has to be said that it went well for him on a few occasions, but it’s impossible to base an entire championship on that card. To add insult to injury, the next round of the MotoGP World Championship takes place on the weekend of September 18 at Motorland/Alcañizthat over the years the illicit circuit of Quartararo.

Fabio knows very well that he cannot play another role than waiting for the dynamics of bagnaia change. He was tied hand and foot, he had no way to fight back. “I will try to minimize the damage in Aragón, hoping that Ducati’s superiority will decrease in the four GPs that we will compete in Japan, Thailand, Australia and Malaysia. These are circuits we haven’t been to since 2019, so Ducati won’t have telemetry on its new bikes. Since our bike hasn’t changed much since then, maybe this gives us a chance”.

Quartararo clutching at straws to save the seemingly insurmountable: be run over by Pecco Bagnaia and his Ducati Desmosedici
