Enea Bastianini gave a lesson in the game of cat and mouse to a Pecco Bagnaia who has not yet recovered. The one who thought he would continue a ruthless rise in the championship while keeping the rest of the Ducati clan in line, caught his feet in the carpet when he noticed that his compatriot on the GP21 Gresini had not reached that point, at this point. stage of the season, by chance. Psychologically fragile, he recognizes that he will ruminate on this for a while longer and when we know that the next stage will take place in just two weeks for the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello, that is not necessarily good...
Pecco Bagnaia doesn't get angry, but he also has the honesty to only blame himself... After a splendid pole position and after an excellent start, he paid for wanting to resist Enea Bastianini, who first pushed him into error by forcing him to shoot wide before he committed the irreparable by refusing to lose ground too quickly. It's a brutal stop for the 2021 world vice-champion after the victory in Jerez. In the championship the damage is already significant...
« I am pissed » he blurted. “ I already know that the more hours that pass, the more angry I will get because I threw 20 or 25 points in the trash. Enea Bastianini was very strong and I made a mistake. I knew we were on the brink. It's too bad. If I want to go for the title, this bullshit is not allowed here » recognizes the official Ducati.

Pecco Bagnaia: “ It pisses me off just talking about it«
He even adds: “ This is perhaps the most serious error, even more serious than that of Misano last year. I wouldn't do the 8 braking again and it pisses me off just talking about it. Today I made the mistake when instead, I could have brought home some important points.. I'm already three zeros, which is two zeros and one point in Indonesia ". He finishes : " the only positive point of this race is the speed we showed ».
Au championnat, he lost two places, finding himself 46 points behind the leader fabio quartararo and as if to drink the chalice to the dregs, he sees his teammate Jack Miller which he wants to keep for 2023 and the other GP22 of John Zarco pass him by for 6 points…
