Pecco Bagnaia is certainly highly regarded at Ducati but not to the point of being listened to when he clearly tried to impose continuity with Jack Miller in his working relationship in the official box. The Italian has known the Australian since 2019 and the Pramac era where strong bonds were forged that even go beyond the competition.

Then he blurted out: “ so I hope that whoever joins the team next year will understand this straight away and not start an internal war that leads to nothing. We fight in the race on Sunday », added the three-time winner of this season. “ Working together and improving together is the key, as we do now at Ducati ", summary bagnaia. The response of Ducati on this famous teammate MotoGP is expected for the month of August…
