Pecco Bagnaia wary of “false hope” after Barcelona MotoGP recovery
After a challenging weekend at the MotoGP Catalan Grand Prix, Ducati’s Pecco Bagnaia moved from 21st on the grid to finish seventh, but he remains cautious about his performance.
Despite hoping for a strong showing following a setup change, Bagnaia struggled at Barcelona, feeling it was one of the most complicated weekends of his career with the factory Ducati team.
He expressed a reluctance to get his hopes up until the upcoming Misano round, emphasizing the need to approach the unique track with caution and without added pressure.
Bagnaia attributed his improved performance on Sunday to a swingarm change and having more grip due to running a full fuel tank throughout the race.
While acknowledging his progress from 21st to 7th place, Bagnaia recognized that starting from such a position still posed challenges and refrained from setting high expectations.
