Bagnaia accepts "we have problems" after Valencia MotoGP practice
Factory Ducati rider Francesco Bagnaia is leading Jorge Martin by 21 points in the championship going into the Valencia finale. Bagnaia had a difficult start to the weekend, struggling in practice and missing the cut for Q2 while Martin performed well. Bagnaia experienced issues with stopping his Ducati, losing half a second in just three corners. However, he sees this as an opportunity for improvement and is determined to do better in the next session. Bagnaia believes he is handling the pressure better this year compared to his first title win. He also expressed his disinterest in mind games played by Martin, stating that he should focus on his own performance. Bagnaia opposes team orders and is confident in his ability to succeed even if he doesn’t make it to Q2, citing his win in Indonesia last year when he started from 13th.
