I’m sorry Bagnaia had a great Saturday at the MotoGP Italian Grand Prixhis first home race of the 2023 season. Despite the incident with Marc Márquez that confused him a bit in the classification, the reigning world champion took pole position ahead of #93. And later, in the sprint racemanaged to take the victory over His main rival for the title, Marco Bezzecchi.
The Italian scored a good start with his Ducati and kept the first position in the opening barsalthough later, when the rain came, he lost the position in favor of a Jorge Martin who risked more. However, Bagnaia knew how to recover, regain his head and overcome after a nice battle against his compatriot from the Mooney VR46.
Pecco Bagnaia: “Tomorrow I’m sure I can do great things”
And it is that Bezzecchi gave everything to stick to Bagnaia, but #1 knew how to keep him at bay to win again in a sprint, and increase his overall lead to 4 points. After the race, Bagnaia was happy with his career, about which he knew he would have Marco as a rival, and despite the fact that the rain complicated everything.
“The truth is that I was a little scared at the endbecause it was raining a lot in sectors 2 and 3″, he said on DAZN at the end of the race. “But I knew that we were going well. I have been competitive, so has Marco. I have tried that I did not have opportunities to get ahead”
Asked if he could have escaped without water, Bagnaia commented: “I don’t know, because at first I was afraid that there was a flag to flag and it was not ideal. But I am very happy, because I have seen that the conditions have improved and we have started to do the rhythm that we had done in the morning in FP3, and I have felt very well.”
“I knew that Marco was going to be very close, because he has been fast all weekend. And I’ve just tried not to let him get close, because I know perfectly well the potential it has in the fight, and I did not want to enter [en ello]”.
“The pace has been very very fast, really. Do a 1:46.1 to be a sprint… I have focused a lot on the fourth sector, because I know that the last corner works out very well for me. I have always tried to make the perfect entrance, so as not to leave him behind and be in fronthe continued.
Asked by Dani Pedrosa about where he makes the difference over his brand mates, the Ducati man was clear: “I think my style suits this circuit well, because it brakes very hard, but you can also take a lot of cornering. And here it works out for me, because you know Mugello very well and you know exactly how it is. AND when I feel very good with the front part I can get a lot outenter the curves very hard and not wear out the rear rubber. And go more carefully, with more margin“.
“On Sunday there will surely be more pilots who have the possibility, as always. Escaping here is complicated, with the slipstream, the reference, it is easier to get the times. But we are going to try to be in front and make our rhythm. They will surely change the tires “, she said to finish, Thinking about Sunday
