Pecco Bagnaia is perhaps the most attention-grabbing runner-up in MotoGP for ages. However, he succeeds another Valentino Rossi academician, Franco Morbidelli, while he continues a result repeated consecutively on three occasions by another compatriot equipped with Ducati, in this case Andrea Dovizioso. But unlike the latter, the Moto2 World Champion fully adheres to the philosophy of Gigi Dall'Igna while the entire brand is behind him in view of a 2022 exercise which is hoped to be grandiose at Borgo Panigale...
Furthermore, it seems that if there is one in a red suit who can withstand this pressure of finally having to achieve success in a list that has not been updated since 2007, it is good Pecco Bagnaia. Ducati boss Claudio Domenicali said thus of him: “ Pecco is the driver who did the best in the second half of the season. It took him a while to make the jump to MotoGP, but after Aragón he took the plunge. In reality, we saw that he was ready to win but for some reason he couldn't bring it home. He's a very nice boy, but when he walks into the garage he's extremely determined, just look into the eyes and you see a different face. He will play for the title in 2022 ».
An assessment of the upcoming season that Pecco confirms: “ Fabio Quartararo has it, he won the title » he declared in an interview with La Stampa and relayed by GP One. " He will be the man to beat, the great adversary to fight. In 2021, I made mistakes, there were problems, all things that should not be repeated. Moreover, Ducati never put pressure on me, there is harmony and it makes me feel at home ". An affection that even motivates him for the future: “ I hope this story can last a long time, I hope so ».
Pecco Bagnaia: “I always take a piece of normality with me"
To bagnaia, we are therefore not saying that everything is open for 2023, quite the contrary: we are happy where we are: within a fellow manufacturer in a period where it seems to be able to field the best motorcycle in the Grand Prix . Enough to mobilize an entire people. On this point, bagnaia tries to calm the ardor: “ I'm different from Stoner or Bayliss, but we are all drivers and we all have the same goal: to win. Racing is certainly different from everyday life, talent is this form of madness which allows you to give something more, this leads you to win ».
But since he talks about life, bagnaia lifts the veil on its environment, allowing us to enter furtively into its intimacy: “ thanks to my girlfriend Domitia, my parents and my sister Carola, I always take a piece of normality with me. It's something I need and it makes a difference because I have always been very attached to my family, it helps me stay calm He concluded.
