Francesco ‘Pecco’ BagnaiaItalian Ducati Lenovo Team rider, winner of the last two world championships, and currently in second position in the overall standings, 21 points behind Spaniard Jorge Martín, has ensured that He felt “very good” at the Motegi circuit where the Motul Grand Prix of Japan and that is “better suited” to its characteristics than the Indonesian Mandalika track, where it was ridden last weekend.
“Considering the circuit and Jorge’s performance in Mandalika, We will have to see what happens this weekend. Motegi is a circuit I likewhich is more appropriate compared to Mandalika, which has many complex points. It’s more like Austria and it’s a circuit that I think is very good. See you this weekend. The weather may be different from the rest of the season as it looks like it will rain on Sunday for qualifying. We must be prepared for any situation. Our result and performance can be very good and we can start getting points from Jorge,” he said.
“It was a difficult season because of the mistakes we both made.but it is true that he has become more consistent. In the next races we have to take steps forward in terms of performance because we lost ourselves a bit in the last races. But I am very satisfied to be here, fighting until the end,” he noted in the previous official press conference.
Bagnaia considers that now his main rival for the title is Martín: “It feels good to fight like this again and it would be good to have a battle between us before the end of the season. This is a continuation, not a repeat, of last year. And the best will win.”
Despite this, the Spaniard Marc Márquez and the Italian Enea Bastianini still have mathematical options: “Since the beginning of the season, Jorge and I have existed. Mathematically there is a possibility that Marc and Enea are champions and we have to consider them, we know very well how easy it is to go down or make a mistake. This season, it is something that can change very quickly and I will consider it until the end.
“I don’t care if there are three, four or five of us. I want to be the leader again, and nothing changes. I think this context is good for us, as well as for Thailand and Malaysia. We have circuits where we are very strong. “We find ourselves in a situation where we have to be better,” he added.
Regarding the possibility of rain at the weekend, he said: “The most important thing is to be ready for any situation. You have to be careful not to take too many risks, but we want the points. This is one of the most complicated things and also one of the best things to do because it gives you a lot of motivation and adrenaline.
Also, he assured that what he wants most is success. “I love fighting, I love training to win, win a championship or a race. Nothing gives you the same feeling as success. All the sacrifices and all the work have no sense of achievement. “You give one hundred percent and it doesn’t matter what you have to do to achieve the result,” he noted.
“My dreams have come, although they are increasing, I want more. But I am super proud and super satisfied with my career, with development and development. “I want to continue giving as much as possible”he finished in front of the media.
