In the last six MotoGP races, Pecco Bagnaia has either failed to finish the race or has won.
A total of three zeros appear in the Italian’s box, a situation that has invited the Piedmontese to reflect before the arrival of the summer break. “I’ve already fallen three times this year,” introduced the runner-up after finishing the test in the Netherlands.
“The first time in Qatar I was trying to push because I was so far away on the time sheet. But the other two times I crashed at the moment I promised myself to be calm. I would like to think that I never lose concentration during the race, but maybe the idea of being calmer and breathing doesn’t help me.”
“If you look at my track record and look at the races where I start first and push early on, I don’t have that kind of problem.
Among the best riders in the premier class, the Ducati rider is the one with the highest crash rate on Sundays. This means that the Italian has to focus his efforts on those situations in which he is not the first, since when he rides in front, Bagnaia ensures victory in most cases.
“Specifically I have to improve in those races where I don’t have a small advantage of six, seven tenths, to be more focused and work on that moment.”
This pattern was already appreciated during his time in Moto2: “In the intermediate category I won eight races and I was in the front in all 8 victories and I pushed all the time. I think I’m also good fighting at the front, because if I have to reach it, I can do it.” usually”.
“But I might have to focus more on pushing all the time. I’m thinking about it, because I really want to improve and that’s something I might need to improve on,” concluded the Ducati starter.
