The Czech Republic Grand Prix marks the third consecutive race where the rookie Francis Bagnaia from the Pramac Racing team, crossed the finish line. He finishes twelfth and also signs his second best result of the season.
It's rather a great satisfaction for someone who was used to going to the mat, the Italian counting 5 retirements in seven races. Enough to bring balm to the heart and revive it, this one being last in the ranking of rookies largely dominated by the tricolor Fabio Quartararo. Starting from fourteenth position on the starting grid, the Italian driver did not get off to a good start. He then battled to get into the top 10, although he did not manage to get into the top XNUMX.
« Pecco » comments on his Czech weekend: « The weekend was very complicated. We had to quickly adapt to the very changing track conditions with the weather. We only had very little time to train in the dry in the end. We also had to face occasional difficulties, particularly on our entry into curves. Just like in Germany, I am happy to have finished the race, it was essential. And then I had a good rhythm and I'm not too far from the time of winner.”
He concludes on his chances of achieving a good result in Austria next weekend : “It is a route which is usually favorable to Ducati, then we will see and we will give our best to obtain a good result ".

I started from the behind and I had to catch up a lot of positions. I managed to handle it and it was very important for us to hold on until the end. This is my best race in terms of gap from the first. #GoFree (I.e. pic.twitter.com/EtgJogeqvg- Pecco Bagnaia (@PeccoBagnaia) August 4
