Following the media day for the final round of the 2024 MotoGP season, a noticeable difference in demeanor between the two protagonists, Pecco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin, was observed. Bagnaia appeared calmer, with a better position established after the first day on the track, despite his slim hopes of retaining the championship. He reflected on past experiences heading into season finales and the current 24-point advantage he aims to overcome. Despite a minor crash, Bagnaia’s confidence remained strong, evident in his relaxed attitude during interactions with the press and self-deprecating jokes.
