Four podiums in the last five races, two of which were victories. A roadmap for a man of the moment, probably too late to really go hunting for the 2021 title, but which certainly makes Pecco Bagnaia one of the main favorites for next year’s crown.
The 52 points behind Fabio Quartararo with three races to go do not allow us to dream too much in the present, but now the whole world has noticed the leap in quality of the Ducati rider, certainly one of the revelations of this year, which during the trip to the United States he was interviewed by CNN, with a chat that gave several really interesting ideas.
The first was linked to the relationship with Valentino Rossi. First a myth, then he became his mentor and now a friend who encourages him to always try to give his best.

“I remember very well the first time I met him. We were having dinner and Vale and our coach walked into the restaurant. I was very nervous to meet my idol, it was strange to see him in front of me and shake his hand”, said Bagnaia .
“Now we are good friends and we talk a lot about my championship. In the last month he has encouraged me to always be the best and to improve every time,” he added.
In the United States it was still unclear why he is more famous with his nickname than with his real name. Pecco then explained that it is all thanks to his sister Carola, who still follows him like a shadow in the World Cup paddock today.
“My sister is only 20 months older than me. When we were little, calling me ‘Francesco’ was difficult, that’s what Pecco called me.”
