Pecco Bagnaia wants to be world champion again. The Italian has seen how the arrival of Marc Márquez has relegated him to a second step Within the Ducati team. The two -time winner of MotoGP He has made self -criticism and has drawn a plan to counteract the enormous domain of the 93 At this start of the season.
«I am happy, but not at all. I have to be able to do what I do on Sunday. In the Sprint, I could not be aggressive to advance, while Sunday. I can and I must improve, because that is my weak point. I have to work it », He recognized a Bagnaia who already lost the last World Cup against Jorge Martín for his inconsistency on Saturdays.
The Italian has detected the problem and does not want the same to happen to a Marc Márquez who has won seven of the eight tests that has been in the World Cup and has also not yielded any of the pole position. Bagnaia, however, clings to her comeback at the Qatar Grand Prix From the eleventh to the second position to think big.
«The only way to try to fight Márquez would have been starting near him. I wasn’t in that position and it was my fault. When you start so far, you have to use the tires more to advance the pilots in front of you. The same happened to me in the fight with Morbidelli, where we also lost a second with Maverick, ”he explained.
In addition, Bagnaia believes that forcing both the machine against Márquez harmed him despite finishing second in the race. «In the absence of six laps, I began to feel vibrations and could no longer be fast in certain curves. The biggest problem, however, was to start eleventh; If nothing special happens, it is difficult to think of something better than a podium. I shouldn’t find myself in that position, ”he said.
Marc Márquez will have to ‘curb it’
The best news for the Italian is that the season is the longest in the history of MotoGP and is gradually taking sensations with the GP25. Bagnaia believes that he will go more in his performance unlike a Márquez who took the trick to the motorcycle from the first race and that he has managed to build a 26 -point advantage over his teammate.
The Italian now thinks that he can approach a Marc Márquez who has managed to survive all kinds of circumstances, but with such a perfect beginning his income seems scarce over his rivals. «I think that in Jerez the difference could make more. Although I know that Marc Márquez has always been very fast here, he has managed to fight for the victory against Ducati, which has always been the reference motorcycle. I think that in Jerez there will be more battle. There Márquez is strong, as in Le Mans», Zanjó.
