The Italian Francesco ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia (Ducati Desmosedici GP23), fifth in Qatar Grand Prix sprint race of the MotoGP in Lusail, admitted that he expected more from himself and that “unfortunately”, although he did “a great job all weekend and the sensations were very good”, “in the race was it’s not the same”, because “lost 7 points because something doesn’t work” he got even more angry.
“I didn’t feel good from the first lap; I couldn’t push and it’s a shame because I thought we were going to win today.. “We were very strong, but it was not possible, and when I started close to the other drivers to get traction, I lost at the beginning and it was very difficult,” Bagnaia acknowledged.
“I lacked a lot of grip compared to those in front of me, The only difference this morning is the tires, they are new and what was very easy this morning is no longer easy in the afternoon,” explained the Italian, who recalled: “Turn 11, for example, I always do in and this afternoon it is no longer possible because it is dangerous I fall, alas.
“We will try to make a move tomorrow“I’m sure it’s just a coincidence, bad luck and tomorrow we will return to our potential,” he said.
In the seven points he gave he said that “Many and above all losing 7 points because you are slow… Well; but Losing 7 points because something doesn’t work is worse and makes me more angry. It’s a shame because in this grand prix itself, we were faster all weekend, but now in the race there’s no way to promote the same.”
“For sure tomorrow is a more important race, because we are competing for the world championship and it will be important to go fast. Honestly, I don’t think he’s stronger than me in Valencia, but I think tomorrow’s race will be very important,” said Bagnaia without hesitation.
“We have to bring out the potential we showed all weekend to stay ahead and try to win, because looking at the times, my potential is to win,” said the World Cup leader with conviction.
