MotoGP Silverstone: Francesco Bagnaia raises his voice (against Marc Marquez) after qualifying!

Asked by official site MotoGP.com in the closed park at the end of the British Grand Prix qualifying MotoGP 2024 at Silverstone, Francis Bagnaia did not hide his dissatisfaction, and Marc Marquez has nothing to do with it…

The object of the reigning world champion's wrath concerned both his second position acquired on the starting grid for the Sprint and the Grand Prix, as well as the behavior of some of his opponents!

2nd on the grid would still be enough to satisfy almost the entire field, but not number 1 who estimated, and we have no reason not to believe it, to be able to obtain pole position, until the adhesive advertising which adorns the visor of his helmet decides to partially come off and obstructs the vision of the champion who tore it off with an angry gesture.

A rage that continued all the way to the pitlane, with words that were enough to worry those proposed to the Turin driver's helmets.

“So we have to be happy because we had the opportunity to make a very good first attempt, but then I lost the sponsor, the banner here on the helmet, and it got in front of the eyes, and I am very angry about this, because it is something that those who have to deal with this kind of thing need to be more precise, and losing the possibility of making a better result in the qualifications for things like this is not good."

The annoyance of Pecco Bagnaia then focused on some of his opponents who, like in Moto3, wait more and more while driving slowly to take a wheel. Understand his… and understand too Marc Marquez who followed the red Ducati throughout the first run of qualifying and was only unable to do so in the second run due to the barrage of the two VR46s...

“And then we must also say that the situation in qualifying right now is absolutely ridiculous, given that 10 MotoGP riders can't ride slowly like that to keep up with other riders. I think we are at the top of our sport, if we are there it is because we can do things alone and the situation is quite ridiculous, but as long as no one says anything, it will continue like this."

Conversely, the Ducati official, a good player, congratulated Aleix Espargaro who obtained his pole position by riding alone on the track.

 » We have to say that Aleix did an incredible sector 4, and all weekend he was very fast. We know Aprilia is fantastic at this circuit. » .
