What bothers Bagnaia much more than India ‘mistake I can’t make’
Pecco Bagnaia, the reigning MotoGP champion, takes full responsibility for his crash in the Indian Grand Prix and acknowledges that it was his own mistake. However, he is more concerned about a recent trend in his performance that he desperately wants to reverse. Bagnaia was on track to earn 20 points before crashing out a few corners later, allowing his main championship rival Jorge Martin to finish second and close the gap to just 13 points. Bagnaia ran a hard front tire, which no other Ducati rider did, and although he doesn’t know if it contributed to the crash, he felt it was his only option to compete against Martin and race winner Marco Bezzecchi. Bagnaia explains that the crash occurred when he overtook Martin, and as he slid the rear of his bike, it pushed the front and caused him to lose control. He also mentions that the issue of changing the load on the front tire has been a problem for Ducati since 2016. Bagnaia admits that the crash was a mistake and emphasizes the importance of avoiding similar situations in the future.
