Mattia Pasini did not succeed as he would have liked in his return to this Moto2 season. Coming back with the points for fourth place in the first Grand Prix of the year in Qatar, he did not really deserve anything. And yet, the Italian reminds that to be one of the favorites for the 2018 crown in the category, you must not miss a single point. However, to score more, he says he needs to change his strategy...
« Not scoring any points is a disaster in Moto2 today ". It is with this uncompromising approach that the 32-year-old Italian takes stock of the situation before preparing his trip to Argentina. In two weeks, we will have to show a different face than in Qatar. And given the current level of competition, the expedition to the land of the Pumas must be taken with the greatest seriousness: “ this year, many drivers are competitive. It will be very close in all races. The list of contenders for the crown is long. And at the top of it, I put Oliveira ". However, the official Portuguese KTM finished fifth, behind the ItalTrans rider, his performance at Losail.
On his motorbike, he specifies: “ I like the new Kalex, but we still have to work to counter the KTMs which are of a high level. I feel as strong as last year. However, I need to make fewer mistakes. If we want to win this championship, we will have to change our approach. We will see where we are in Valencia. I need to make fewer mistakes and know how to adapt to all conditions. Because not scoring any points today is a real disaster ».
Qualified eighth in Qatar, Pasini finished at the foot of the podium in a race won by bagnaia before Baldassarri et Alex Marquez.
