Pecco Bagnaia may have confirmed his title this year, when we approach the subject of the upcoming 2024 MotoGP season, the trend is that it is that of the return to the forefront of king Marc Marquez who will finally have in his hands this Ducati with which he will once again be able to express his immense talent. In other words, everything that has happened since his injury at Jerez in 2020, with the resulting loss of bearings at Honda, has been nothing but an anachronism, a parenthesis that the Spaniard will close with such authority that it will feel like the end of recess. In the Ducati clan, and also in Italy, as even more so in the VR46 academy camp, we find, however, that putting forward such expertise is moving a little too quickly. This is the case of Celestino Vietti, who has another opinion…
Pecco Bagnaia Although today he is a three-time World Champion, and twice consecutively since the end of the 2023 campaign in the major MotoGP category, it seems that he is still underestimated. In 2022, few were those who bet on him as he began his historic comeback on fabio quartararo, and this year, many saw him break down in front of the velocity of George Martin. But if he gave up, he did not break, recovering in particular from his terrible fall at Barcelona which had logically reduced his confidence and his physical condition, all without ever having taken the invigorating time of a package.
As he remains calm and discreet, even giving the impression of wanting to escape the spotlight, Pecco Bagnaia do not unleash passions. But those who know him very well know what he uses. So, Francesco 'Pecco' Bagnaia et Celestine Vietti share the trail at the Ranch Valentino Rossi outside of the MotoGP World Championship and have a very special relationship as a result. Drive, who will have a new challenge in Moto2 in 2024, believes that the 'cycle' of his friend and compatriot has finally begun, following the validation of the world title.
Celestino Vietti: “ Pecco Bagnaia has proven to be the strongest this season in many ways »
Speaking to Corriere Torino in comments relayed by motorcyclesports, Drive recalled the progress of the last round of the world championship, on the Ricardo Tormo circuit, where the lucidity of bagnaia was very clear, even in the face of the great challenges that awaited it: “There was a great atmosphere in Valencia. You could see that Pecco had very clear ideas. He demonstrated great speed by winning the last Grand Prix and winning the world title ».
He adds : " I believe that among his main qualities are his tranquility and awareness of his abilities, as evidenced by the fact that he never found himself in trouble, even when the fight with Jorge Martin became very intense ».
About the title that Pecco Bagnaia confirmed, Celestine Vietti thinks this could be an important step towards what happens in the years to come, especially after seeing an intense rivalry take it to a very high level: “ I hope the Pecco cycle has begun, even if it is never easy to reconfirm. He suffered a bad defeat at Barcelona, but he has proven to be the strongest this season in many ways. After this triumph, he will be even more aware of his means and I'm sure he will return to the track next year even more hungry for victory he concludes.
