What happened for Pecco Bagnaia this Friday at the Sachsenring? For a driver of whom it was said three Grands Prix ago that his first success would not take long to come, this first day of the German Grand Prix has the air of great disillusionment. It's simple, he couldn't do worse: last. With the red suit of the Ducati official, it hurts. But the fourth in the championship takes a step back…
And in fact, Francis Bagnaia, despite the last place in the ranking on Friday of German Grand Prix MotoGP category, swears he is not worried. In fact, the pilot Ducati did not use new tires. But he did some work in preparation for the race, always running on the same tire. “ I'm not worried and I'm not depressed, although it's certainly not nice to be last in the standings » comments the Italian. “ Today's MotoGP is at a level never seen before, so it's normal to be late if you don't attempt a time. Marc Marquez is ahead of us on worn tires, but he started on hard tires ».
Bagnaia: “we did a good job”
« I'm quite happy with the work done because we improved and had a constant pace, which I didn't have in Barcelona, especially in the last phase of the race » adds the teammate of a Jack Miller ninth. “ We were consistent until the end of the tire. On Saturday we will take a step forward. I'm quite satisfied, not happy because I'm last, but satisfied because we did a good job ».
The term " in my opinion the difference is always made by the driver. There are tracks where our bike adapts less well or better. Here I have to make the difference more than the bike, because when I started I felt good. It's more the driver who makes the difference ».
