The Italian Francesco Bagnaia is usually a quiet character, wherein They calm those around them more than they need to be calmed. He has already gone through the experience of solving the MotoGP crown and in the last race in Cheste and like last year he left an easy match-ball. Last year he lacked two points and this year he has four so this Saturday in the Sprint he can become a two-time MotoGP champion, a three-time champion adding to what he won in Moto2.
“The chances are to try to win on Saturday, but if I see that the risk is too high I will take whatever result it is and try it on Sunday. Of course, we are in a better situation compared to Jorge, but 21 points is never enough to be calm,” he said.
“We have to face it with calmness, I have to be very fast tomorrow, because it is important to be competitive on Saturday, because it will be a very important day,” he warned.
Regarding the possible help from the drivers, he is insistent: “I don’t think it matters, I prefer to do it myself, as I always do, and whatever it is, it will be. In the end it will be a good race, hard to push and on the new asphalt “I think we will have some incredible times.”
“The conditions are good, the asphalt is new, the grip is good, I won, I won the World Championship last year… Yes. Although, of course, not Misano or Mugello,” he said.
“Being calm will be essential, although it will not be easy, because the pressure will increase throughout the weekend, but you have to have fun,” he acknowledged.
And he remembered his weekend last year when the title was at stake with Quartararo: “Last year I remember that I was eating before the race, calm, thinking about my things, and people were approaching me. Basically I eat alone, but this time my friends, my family, were there, talking about things, and they felt more pressure than me, but I must admit that last year on Sunday I felt a lot of pressure before starting, and it wasn’t easy,” Bagnaia recalled.
Due to the fact of playing for the title in Spain with a Spaniard, Bagnaia did not give it much importance and he remembered that “in 2021 we had a very good fight, I think it was one of the best races that we did that year, and it was fun. Obviously we are in Spain, and many fans will come, I know, and it’s normal for a Spaniard to receive the support of Spanish fans. This year we showed that our fight it’s very clean, so I think people will enjoy the show,” he stressed.
