Barely got off his official Ducati GP21 after obtaining 3nd place in the Grand Prix of the Americas in Austin, Francis Bagnaia confided in front of the camera of the official website MotoGP.com.
We report his remarks here without any formatting.
Pecco, it seems like the race was tough at the start but you are on the podium. What do you feel ?
Francis Bagnaia : " I have tried everything ! It was harder than in Malaysia! The same heat but the track is really very demanding. Right now, I'm finished (laughs). Our bike was very competitive today but I struggled a lot in the first sector. I knew Márquez would be better and I just tried to manage the rear tire as best as possible because from the start I felt less grip than yesterday. But anyway, I wasn't nervous at first when I saw the other boys creating a gap, then when I saw that they were starting to struggle I attacked. Finishing on the podium was the best possible result today. »
