Less than seven days before the GP of the Argentine Republic, the Ducati Lenovo Team riders are preparing to return to the track this weekend for the fourth round of the 2022 MotoGP World Championship: the GP of the Americas.
The event will once again be hosted by the Circuit of The Americas in Austin (Texas), a track that has been on the calendar since 2013 and which has seen Ducati achieve five podiums so far, the most recent last year with Francesco Bagnaia’s third place.
The Italian driver, protagonist of a good comeback in Argentina which saw him finish fifth after starting with the thirteenth fastest time, was also the author of the pole position in the 2021 edition of the Grand Prix. Thanks to the good sensations found on his Desmosedici GP in the last GP, Pecco aims to obtain an important result in Sunday’s race.
“During the last GP in Argentina I was finally able to find the same sensations I had last year on my Desmosedici GP and I am very happy because it means that we are working in the right direction. I can say that my World Championship really started last week and now I am determined to maintain this positive trend. Sunday we will race in Austin, on a track where last year I finished third starting from pole position. I hope I can be as competitive this year and get other important points for the championship “, Bagnaia said.
