Bagnaia accepts "we have problems" after Valencia MotoGP practice
Factory Ducati rider Francesco Bagnaia is currently leading Pramac’s Jorge Martin by 21 points in the championship standings before the finale in Valencia. However, Bagnaia had a difficult start to the weekend, finishing 15th in practice and failing to make it to Q2 while Martin advanced to second place. Bagnaia struggled with his Ducati’s braking, losing half a second in just three corners, though he sees it as an opportunity to identify specific areas for improvement. Bagnaia acknowledges the pressure but says he is handling it better than last year when he won his first title. Bagnaia brushes off Martin’s attempts at mind games and believes Martin should focus on his own performance. Bagnaia opposes team orders and remains confident in his own abilities, citing his past success in winning a race from the 13th position in Indonesia.
