Francesco Bagnaia says the red flag in the British MotoGP was a turning point for him, as “nothing worked again” afterwards.
The red flag in the British MotoGP had a major impact on Francesco Bagnaia’s race, shifting his fortunes from feeling “good” to feeling like “nothing worked.” Initially in second place behind Fabio Quartararo, Bagnaia’s race took a turn for the worse after a tire change for the restart, ultimately resulting in a crash at turn seven. Despite his strong start, Bagnaia struggled with poor grip and traction following the restart, losing positions and control of his bike. He attributed his crash to the rear sliding out unexpectedly, leading to a challenging situation without a clear explanation. Bagnaia also acknowledged the dominant performance of Alex Marquez, who he believed would have comfortably won the race without his misfortune. Lastly, Bagnaia highlighted the ongoing issues faced by the factory Ducati team, noting the need for improvement and reflection to regain competitiveness in the MotoGP series.
