Francis Bagnaia is ready to face a new season on the Ducati. Pecco, who finished second in the championship last year, will be back riding his fearsome red motorcycle the February 5 and 6 for the first attempts at Sepang. The Piedmontese pilot is also certain of renewal with Ducati. Interviewed by Antonio Boselli from Sky Sports, he spoke about the new GP Desmosedici and the future with the Borgo Panigale firm. And it is clear that I have the opposite of a fabio quartararo, for him, everything is closed, and even closed. He wants to remain a pilot with a red suit…
But before talking about himself, he gave his opinion on the first images distilled by his employer about the new 2022 livery: “ the bike is very similar to the 2021 one, but there are details that I like even more. Red is Ducati red again, it's beautiful ". On future deadlines, he adds: “ I think that after the end of last season we can and should aim for the maximum result. From the start we will have to be fast, stay ahead, aim to win races. Regularity will make the difference. I know that I have a great team, great support, and I am convinced that I have done a good job to prepare for the championship which is about to begin ».
Pecco Bagnaia: “ Quartararo is definitely the big favorite«
Then he specifies, thus closing all doors within the framework of the transfer market: “ leaving with the certainty of staying for the following years gives great serenity. And above all, most importantly, we chose together. If I imagine a future in MotoGP, I imagine it at Ducati ».
The Italian, who has thus clarified the rest of his career, ends with the strengths present in view of the race for the 2022 title: “ Quartararo is definitely the big favorite, then there is Marc Marquez, Mir, Miller, Morbidelli… There are many candidate riders. Without forgetting that Bastianini will have a more advanced bike. Then there will be Marini with the factory, Martin… But we will try to be a little faster than everyone ».
