Pecco Bagnaia says moving weight forward on his Ducati helped restore front-end feeling during the Italian MotoGP.
Pecco Bagnaia has revealed a Ducati set-up change that helped him secure his first MotoGP podium of the season at Mugello, where he finished third after leading the race for ten laps. The shift of weight forward improved their performance, as Bagnaia stated in an Inside Ducati YouTube video with crew chief Cristian Gabarrini. Although the front end confidence improved, Bagnaia struggled with rear grip towards the end of the race. Discussing the race with team-mate Marc Marquez, the two riders joked about Ai Ogura’s late-race pace and challenging overtakes. Despite Ogura’s quick final laps, Bagnaia maintained composure and re-passed the Japanese rider to secure his podium finish at Mugello.
