Sensations for the next races
With the changes introduced this season, in each circuit you can get up to 37 points, so any driver can make a difference if he has a good weekend. Until now, Álex has managed to score points in all the races carried out to date, which is why, for the moment, He is in fourth position in the general classification with 33 points, 17 less than Bezzecchi, who is in first place.
However, the pilot acknowledges that “it’s not the real position” to be in the top four of the championship”, because they still have to polish some details with which they can make a difference. Now, he knows that he is capable of being between fifth and eighth in every race, and it is a goal that he is going to try to overcome.
Refering to Ducati, it has been clear: “By having a better bike instead of fighting for fifteenth place, you are fighting for the podium”. However, he wanted to highlight that both the effort and the dedication have been the same as years ago, but the bike influences, and a lot.
One of the ways you learn to ride the Ducati better is to try pay attention to each circuit in the pilot of this brand that best suits the circuit in which they runbut “without losing the north”, since there are eight Ducati every week on the track.
Now, after the euphoria of this weekend, the aim is to try to maintain this good run and continue learning to ride the Ducati perfectly.
