PICTURES: MotoGP gets first look at India’s Buddh International Circuit
Reigning champion and current title leader Francesco Bagnaia will be participating in the upcoming MotoGP race in India after skipping the recent Misano test to recover from his injuries. Bagnaia acknowledges that India will be unfamiliar territory for everyone and emphasizes the need to stay focused and avoid mistakes during this intense and crucial period. With a 36-point lead over Jorge Martin, Bagnaia aims to continue his strong performance. Due to Enea Bastianini’s injury, Ducati test rider Michele Pirro will join Bagnaia for the India race and the following Japanese round. Pirro expresses his happiness to participate in two more MotoGP events but also expresses sympathy for Bastianini. The riders have also expressed concern over the proximity of walls at Turns 2-3 of the circuit and Michelin will provide a wider choice of tires for this weekend’s race, as it is the first new event without prior testing in over a decade.
