Bagnaia ‘cannot make mistakes’ like India crash after MotoGP points lead slashed
“At the start of the month, Bagnaia was leading the championship with a comfortable 62-point lead after winning in Austria. However, his hopes for back-to-back titles took a hit when he crashed out of the race in Barcelona and suffered physical injuries. Despite carrying a 36-point lead to the Indian GP, Bagnaia lost control of his Ducati once again, recording his third retirement of the season. His lead in the championship has now shrunk to just 13 points due to his recent DNF. Bagnaia explained that he took the risk of racing with a hard front tire to compete with his Ducati teammates, but had trouble with braking throughout the weekend. He believes that braking, which used to be a strength of the Ducati, has now become a weakness. Bagnaia’s poor performance has coincided with an improvement in form for his main title rival, Jorge Martin.”
