The first round of the 2022 MotoGP world championship, in Qatar, was absolutely to be forgotten for the two of them Ducati Jack Miller officers e Francesco Bagnaiaboth forced to retire for two completely different reasons: while the Australian had to surrender for a technical problem during the 7th lap, even worse went to his Turin teammate. The 25-year-old, in an attempt to recover from a bad start – exactly as happened to Miller – made a mistake at the braking point of the first corner, slipping and dragging the innocent Jorge Martin with him in the gravel, poleman of yesterday.
Ducati, intended as a manufacturer, was still able to rejoice in the victory of Enea Bastianini, climbed for the first time on the top step of the podium in MotoGP on the saddle of his Desmosedici GP of the Gresini Racing team. Despite this ‘Made in Italy’ result, the sporting regret for the official team remains, which emerged also and above all from the words of Bagnaia: “Obviously I can’t be happy with how the race went – he analyzed Pecco after the checkered flag – and, first of all, I want to apologize to both Ducati and Jorge because I made a mistake. In the race, unfortunately, I was losing a lot in the first phase of acceleration and we weren’t as fast as we usually are. Even at the start I had some difficulties. Now we will have to analyze the data to try to understand what happened and try to come back stronger starting from the next race “.
Far from satisfied too Millerwith the Australian who analyzed his GP in this way before his premature exit from the scene: “Right from the first lap, especially at the end of the straight when exiting the last corner, the bike was not going at maximum power – number 43 explained – I was very slow and was easily overtaken by my opponents. I tried to do my best, trying all the maps available to try to solve the problem, but it wasn’t enough. Too bad because today I felt really good. I was satisfied with yesterday’s qualifying result and I knew I had a good pace. I was hoping to be able to bring home some important first points. That’s how it went. Now let’s turn the page and we’re already thinking about the next race ”.
