Critic Bagnaia vows to ‘continue to analyze Motegi’s mistakes’

Italian Francesco “Pecco” Bagnaia (Ducati Desmosedici GP22) suffered a crash during a race at Japan’s Motegi ‘Twin Ring’ circuit, but he is still “Analyzing errors at Motegi, today too”.

“We had to understand that we lacked acceleration and speed compared to other bikes,” he admitted.

“Stuck behind Pol Espargaro for laps, it was impossible to pass himSo we have to understand this situation and maybe we can find something this weekend that can help, but in any case, in terms of the competitive conditions we’ve had before, this weekend’s was pretty weird,” explained Bagnaia.

“It’s hard to know and understand that in some situations you have to push at the same level.”, but I couldn’t because I was behind someone slower.Thinking about the crash, my goal was basically to pass Fabio. I tried to overtake from a very long distance and lost control of the bike when I tried to stop it,” continued the Ducati rider.

Regarding the rain, Pecco Bagnaia said: “The only thing that has changed compared to last year is the balance of the bike.” “Maybe that’s why it costs a little more. The difficult part is that there weren’t many sessions in the wet. I didn’t feel the tires in Japan and everything was more difficult for me. The team has a good idea and it will help balance the weights.”

“The first sector is very good for Ducati, with curves and long straights,” said De Buriram. “However The third sector was our weak point and we lost a lot of time compared to Quartararo. He was the only one to go really fast on that stage in 2019, but I think the new fairing will help us on that part of the circuit. ”

“Certainly, the current tires improve grip. Of course some circuits have better grip than others but the slip on the straights is due to overheating and the softs are too soft to manage in the wet so tire choice is It’s very difficult, but here in 2019, in the third free practice, we used all the intermediate fronts and backs and it worked, but In racing situations it will be more difficult than in real life shootingHowever, there will be less hydroplaning than at Motegi,” Bagnaia said.
