Also, last year, I got my first podium in MotoGP here! I’m very determined and ready to fight for the victory again in front of all our fans“. This is a track that I like a lot and where I often train with my Panigale V4 S. My team and I are doing an outstanding job, and I feel very comfortable riding my Desmosedici GP, so I’m optimistic for this weekend. The victory on Sunday at Aragón was incredible and gave me the right energy to face our second home race at Misano. “ It’s only been a few days since last Sunday’s GP, but I’m already ready for another race weekend. Bagnaia’s win also ended a sequence of 13 successive MotoGP races without an Italian winner, which was the longest sequence since Germany/2013 to Great Britain/2014 (23 successive MotoGP races).
At the Aragon GP, Francesco Bagnaia took his maiden win in MotoGP, becoming the 116th different premier class winner and the 31st since MotoGP was introduced in 2002. That performance, compounded by MotorLand, will likely play on everyone’s mind. But he also set the fastest race lap as he left the rest behind, and missed out on pole for track limits.
It was no mean feat, and Marquez himself pointed out something in Bagnaia’s arsenal that could be crucial come Misano too: corner speed.īagnaia has used it before to great effect at the track, even before he truly mastered the art this year, taking his first MotoGP podium in the first visit in 2020 and leading in the second until crashing out. What made his maiden win such a stunner was the sheer pressure from Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) lap after lap, the Italian brushing off Marquez’ attempts at the lead like they weren’t coming from one of the most decorated riders in history – or one of the most successful at anti-clockwise Aragon. It wasn’t just pace that Bagnaia had at MotorLand, however.
