Rule regulation of tire pressures to the levels required by Michelin and agreed with the MSMA, premiered at Silverstone and officially implemented starting in Catalunya, it has already earned the first penalty warnings for two of the three candidates for the MotoGP crown, Jorge Martin in Buriram and Marco Bezzecchi in Mandalika who is with the leader Pecco Bagnaia He has an ace up his sleeve when it comes to strengthening his leadership.
For the next violation of the technical regulations, their rivals will receive a 3″ penalty, the next 6″ and the third 12″ in the three remaining races that may affect the final result in a race.
Pecco Bagnaia He recognizes the advantage he has and, especially, he will make the most of it at the next event in Lusail. “We know very well how staying under the limit for the whole race can change. You have a big advantage braking and going into the corner. Being at the back becomes more and more difficult. If you go out, you’re on your own and in you’re Lucky your pressure is up a bit, it’s a big step forward,” said the Piedmont native.
“Maybe in this race it will be good to have this perspective, but in Qatar it is better to try to take advantage of it. The cold, more moisture, and it will be different. There maybe we can use that. as an advantage, in I think it’s something that will help us in some situations,” insists the leader of the World Cup by 13 points to Martín.
Although his infraction card is clean with three GPs remaining, Bagnaia is not the first time he has criticized the MSMA rule: “No one likes this rule. It can affect your driving style, a lot. And safety What has been achieved is less. , because if you exceed the pressure, like in Thailand, it is very easy to lose at the front end. But it seems like after a year, the first time you are not in the specifications, you lose the race. For me ” It is not right to say that you can break the rule to have an advantage, which to me is crazy.”
The key to Bagnaia is the work they do in their part of the official Ducati box: “We also worked a lot under pressure, before the standard, to be in the top zone, and it’s very difficult to know what the race will be. . Maybe you start with the same pressure and at one point you have 1.7 and it doesn’t increase, or you have 2.2. It’s very difficult, my team is doing a good job to keep the pressure constant,” he concluded.
