During the press conference before this Aragon Grand Prix, which should not be missed under any circumstances, we talked about the last battle experienced at Misano between Pecco Bagnaia and Enea Bastianini. Two drivers from the same brand, who will be teammates under the factory awning in 2023, and the first of which is playing for the title this year. However, the second mentioned attacked him for the victory until the finish line which only separated them by 34 thousandths. The boss of Ducati, Claudio Domenicali was in a cold sweat and he did not hesitate to let it be known that this fratricidal duel had not really amused him…
And then we know the rest: within the team Ducati, we discovered that there were supporters of the team instructions and a camp that was against it, this one becoming more numerous as we got closer to the drivers. The debate was undoubtedly lively, since the pilot Gresini surprisingly made it known at the Misano tests that he had received an apology from Ducati, after study of data from the San Marino Grand Prix. Like what, there was a subject…
Enea Bastianini: “ no one says I can't win »
Is the latter closed in Aragon and has everyone learned a lesson from this last round MotoGP to present yourself serenely in Alcañiz? Not really… Enea Bastianini commented: “ I'm telling the truth: I tried, but I couldn't » he recalls about Misano. “ I got too close to him in T1, got sucked into turn 4 and lost my chance to win from there. Pecco made no mistake: doing the fastest lap on the last lap was difficult for me ».
And for Aragon, what are his plans? “ Bagnaia is the only one capable of fighting for the title with Ducati: it's right and normal to have an eye, and not to be stupid. But if there is a chance to win, you don't hold back, no one says I can't win. If the opportunity presents itself, I will try again ». Claudio Domenicali will therefore have a restless sleep. However, “Bestia” assures: “ the relationship with everyone at Ducati is good: we talk a lot together and good results can be achieved ". To be continued ?
