How ‘sofa racer’ Bagnaia is finding the edge on his MotoGP rivals
Francesco Bagnaia, riding for Ducati, has achieved his third sprint/grand prix double of the 2023 season, solidifying his position in the standings with a 62-point lead going into the 11th round in Barcelona. Although Bagnaia has experienced three non-scores on Sundays and one in a sprint, he has been consistently strong and punishing the inconsistency of his rivals. His rivals, Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi, praised Bagnaia’s strength in braking and his ability to make a difference on any part of the track. Aleix Espargaro and Marc Marquez both attribute Bagnaia’s success to his knowledge of the Ducati project and the strong team and atmosphere he has within his garage. Despite his dominance, Bagnaia remains humble and credits his team and the access to data from other Ducati riders for improving his performance.
