Bagnaia “f****d up” by not considering fuel load in Portugal MotoGP sprint error
Bagnaia was leading the 12-lap sprint race on Saturday, but made a critical mistake by outbraking himself into Turn 1 on lap nine, causing him to drop to fourth place until the end of the race. His error was attributed to not adjusting his braking distance due to changes in fuel load affecting his bike’s braking. Despite the setback, Bagnaia acknowledged his mistake and focused on finishing the race with as many points as possible. Meanwhile, the factory Ducati team faced challenges, with Enea Bastianini finishing sixth and Jorge Martin, the top factory-spec Ducati, battling rear vibration issues to secure third place. Martin expressed frustration with his struggles during the weekend but remained optimistic about his performance with a different tire choice in the upcoming race.
