Barely dismounted from his official Ducati GP24 after obtaining 2rd position during qualifying for the British Grand Prix MotoGP 2024 at Silverstone, Francis Bagnaia spoke in front of the cameras of the official website MotoGP.com quite angry with adhesive and “glue pots”… 

We report his remarks here without any formatting.


Pecco, on the first line. I'm sure you're happy with it, but we saw that a strange incident happened when you started your last lap. How do you feel after this? A little frustration at not having obtained pole position?

Francis Bagnaia : “A little, because honestly, the potential was there to take pole position. 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. 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 my eyes, and I'm very angry for this, because it is something that those who have to deal with this kind of thing have to be more precise, and losing the possibility of making a better result in the qualifications for things like this, it is not Good. And then we also have to say that the situation in qualifying right now is absolutely ridiculous, considering 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. »
