He was the precursor to a contingent of MotoGP debutants that promises a lot this year. Pecco Bagnaia, Moto2 World Champion slammed the clock during the first tests of the year in Malaysia. He was already promised the status of best rookie with his Ducati. Then Qatar arrived. From testing to the Grand Prix, we saw Quarterly all fired up in tests and trials and a determined Joan Mir in the leading group in the race. For sure, this season, the newcomers will be talked about…
A situation that Pecco Bagnaia underlines, before the Argentine Grand Prix: “ I'm very happy with everything that's happening. The other beginners also did a good job and they are strong. I think we are all very good this year. We are at the forefront, competitive and I like this situation ". However, nothing is certain yet. Speaking about his personal situation, bagnaia states in fact: “ there are so many things to improve, for example entering the curve. We are coming from a first race where we have made a lot of progress, so we just need to be confident and see what happens ».
However, Qatar was not a brilliant meeting for the teammate of Miller who had to give up for technical reasons: “ It was still a great weekend, we worked well, especially on the tests. I'm happy with what we did, although unfortunately the race didn't turn out the way we hoped. But it allowed me to fully understand the development of the bike over a weekend ».
He ends on GP One with a pass of arms experienced against Valentino Rossi : " it was really nice and fun. Surely my bike must be faster on the straight, we stayed side by side for a while but when braking he passed me. It was an exciting racing moment ».
