The Italian Pecco Bagnaiaworld leader and current MotoGP champion, recognized at the official Media Day conference of Bharat GP that he has not reached “one hundred percent” and is still carrying the consequences of his serious accident at the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit race on September 3.
“Monday after the Misano race was very intense, I was very tired, but we worked a lot and even though we didn’t get here 100% I now know how I should position my leg if I start having difficulties on the bike, so we faced better this weekend than in Misano”, said Bagnaia, who saved two third places at the cost of a very good Dani Pedrosa against the complete success of its great rival Jorge Martin.
About the visa chaos and problems in getting to India, the World Cup chief said “I didn’t have any travel or visa problems, I achieved my first victory in India. Our director of logistics managed it all perfect”.
“Regarding the circuit, I walked the circuit and it was very different from any other circuit that we usually race and at first glance it seemed to me that the escapes were quite narrow, but I was talking to the MotoGP safety commissioner, who told me that everything is fine and it will be interesting to drive here for the first time tomorrow,” commented Bagnaia.
On the first “adventure” in India, the current champion emphasized that “considering the number of motorcycles that are on the streets, it’s unbelievable that we don’t have Indian riders in MotoGP and this will help create a pool of riders to reach the World, because it’s like in Thailand and Indonesia, where the streets are flooded with motorcycles and that’s also why it’s so important to be here for brands.”
When asked about his countryman’s arrival at Ducati Franco Morbidelli next season, he admitted that “I am very happy to be with Franky at Ducati because he deserves this opportunity, he is not coming from his best year, because he went through a serious leg injury and on a bike that didn’t work. it’s been great lately.
“It hasn’t been the best situation for him, but everyone knows about his potential and next year we will be able to compare ourselves with the same bike and we will also have the same bike for training and competitiveness will increase,” said Bagnaia . .
