Italian Francesco ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia (Ducati Desmosedici GP22), MotoGP world champion, is “very happy” for the title after a race that was “a nightmare”.
“I’m very happy because on the day of my worst race of the year when I crossed the finish line, I saw on the board that I was world champion and from then on everyone became friendlier and my feelings were incredible- notion, but it turned out to be a nightmare,” he said. .
“It wasn’t easy because after my fight with Fabio -Quartararo- I lost my wing and from then on everything became a nightmare, lap after lap I tried to make defensive lines, but it was very difficult for me and the career,” he emphasized.
Recalling his heartfelt comeback, ‘Pecco’ admitted: “I lost confidence in the championship after the Sachsenring, but an hour after the race I thought again that I could be champion again and in the second part of the season we gave a huge amount. step, learning why I made all those mistakes and I think we deserve this title.
“The most difficult moment was the Sachsenring. I felt competitive, but I crashed and I was a very fast driver but with many ups and downs and I lacked regularity. From that moment I took my problem and I think I have improved a lot on a personal level “said the Italian.
At the title, 50 years after it was won by another Italian (Giacomo Agostini) on an Italian motorcycle (MV Agusta), he said he saw “many faces crying and it was so beautiful.” “I was crying too. I felt all this weight on my shoulders. To return all the trust they gave me,” he added.
“Yesterday I spoke to Vale -Valentino Rossi- and he told me ‘you have to be proud of having the possibility. Not everyone feels this pressure and anxiety, but you have to be proud of it and enjoy it.’ I tried to do it, but it didn’t work for me, although I was very happy who was my mentor and my leader,” recalled Bagnaia.
“This year I always felt a lot of pressure, for example in two moments Enea was behind me trying to pass me, and I had to manage that situation, because I already know that the second position is a position that I cannot allow myself and I tried to improve myself and I succeeded,” said the Ducati rider.
