You're not interested enough in social media to follow several hundred drivers, but you don't like to miss any of the little stories that animate MotoGP (Moto2 and Moto3), the World SBK and the other categories? This daily column is made for you, to start the day off right while waiting for more substantial but sometimes less unusual articles! Today, discover the unusual saviors of Pecco Bagnaia.
The Czech Grand Prix paddock witnessed an unexpected scene this Saturday, when Pecco Bagnaia, after a fall during free practice, was escorted back to his box... by his own parents, perched beside him on a scooter. Committed as always to pushing his limits, the two-time MotoGP world champion was caught out by the Brno track during practice, making a mistake. More of a scare than harm: Pecco quickly got back up, but his Desmosedici GP could not restart.
The Italian didn't have to wait long to be rescued. Pecco made his way back to the paddock on a small two-wheeler, driven by his parents, who were there to support him. Despite the minor mishap in practice, Bagnaia returned to his sense of accomplishment as soon as he returned, before claiming pole position for the 2025 Czech Grand Prix, ahead of Marc Marquez and Fabio Quartararo. The latter were once again present in the Parc Fermé to greet their son.
