Two points for the two-time world champion
Francesco Bagnaia he did not go higher than eighth place in the Austin Sprint. The two-time world champion got off to a bad start and only managed to gain two positions towards the end of the race, to the detriment of Franco Morbidelli and Raul Fernandez.
“Until this morning everything was perfect having set the best time on the last lap of FP2 with the tire beyond the sprint laps, while today in the race I was lapping 1 second or 1.2 seconds slower – explained Francesco Bagnaia to the microphones of Sky Sports MotoGP – there was no way to push and I had so many vibrations, strange. Everything went wrong today, at the same time as I started the bike went up and I was starting to slide at the back. I had to take the clutch in my hand and release it, but I lost 4 positions. In my opinion, Miller had a problem at Turn 2 and I had to brake a lot, and 3 others overtook me.”
“We decided to change the mudguard before the start, but it didn't affect the performance – added Pecco – I lacked push out of corners, as soon as I touched the gas I started to slide. The others sped up while I stayed put, and as a result I was always late. I braked much harder than the others, but when you come from so far away you struggle. Today the feeling was so bad that I'm sure that tomorrow without changing anything and changing tires everything will be fine. We won't touch anything because the feeling was so bad that it can't be something in terms of settings. We will change the tire and I'm sure everything will be fine.”
