Having barely stepped off his Ducati GP26 of the Ducati Lenovo Team factory team after finishing 3rd in the Czech MotoGP Grand Prix at the Brno circuit, Francis Bagnaia spoke in front of the cameras of the official website MotoGP.com with the joy of having returned to the outposts…
We report his remarks here without any formatting.
🎤 Pecco, what a weekend! A victory in the Sprint yesterday, then a podium finish today after an incredible race. The pace of the top three was impressive. Were you always worried that Marc and Ai would accelerate at the end of the race?
Francesco Bagnaia: "Yes, I was quite comfortable when I was in the lead, but I thought my pace wasn't good enough because I was two or three tenths slower than them.
I tried everything and we reduced the vibrations a bit compared to yesterday, but I started experiencing more floating movements. So maybe I prefer the vibrations to the floating! (laughs)
But in any case, as soon as Marc and Ai overtook me, I had a lot of trouble keeping up with them because of the front tire pressure. I had to slow down a bit.
Then, in the last three laps, I tried to find my rhythm again in order to control Diggia a little, who was coming back very quickly.
But in any case, I'm happy. We've taken another step forward and we just have to keep going like this.
