The Italian Francesco ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia (Ducati Desmosedici GP24) believes that “it’s hard to understand the performance of tires”, because, as he points out, they don’t seem to go “to have dry sessions”, when determining the new asphalt and the atmospheric conditions of the weekend of Australian MotoGP Grand Prix at Phillip Island.
“We have to understand the performance of the tire and try different compounds, because it is the Indonesian casing and we have to understand it, and the atmospheric condition looks like it will rain tomorrow, windy on Saturday, a bit cold on Sunday… We have to understand the conditions and Phillip Island always causes complications,” recalls the two-time MotoGP world champion.
“We understand that it is not mandatory to lead the World Cup, but whether we win or lose by a few points is not so important, because we understand that it will end in Valencia”he said.
“It was very difficult to close the championship before, but we will try to give our best and the goal is to finish second this weekend, but we know that we have the potential to win, so we will give everything for the victory, try to win points like in Indonesia and try to continue like this in Thailand,” Bagnaia insisted.
“I think the main difference compared to last year is that the season started better, and, in terms of points, it is always in the first position,” said Bagnaia of his rival Jorge Martin, to whom he pointed it out “He led the entire championship, except for Qatar”, where he took the lead and won, “Sachsenring and before Aragon”, where the Italian was “a few points ahead”.
