The start of the MotoGP season has fallen short of Francesco Bagnaia’s expectations – as he was unable to fight for victories in Thailand and Argentina.
Heading into the GP of the Americas, the Ducati rider sits third in the championship and now faces a circuit where his teammate, Marc Márquez, has historically been one of the strongest.
Bagnaia commented in a statement: ‘The atmosphere in Austin is always special. A very long track, one of the most demanding on the calendar both physically and in terms of riding, with 20 corners. In 2023 I scored a nice win in the Sprint, while last year I have struggled more’.
The Italian admitted he’s not in the form he would like to be: ‘In Argentina we scored two solid placings, but we weren’t as perfect and competitive as we want. We need to continue working with the Team to find good riding feelings again’.
