Francesco Bagnaia was the dominant force in the MotoGP tests, leading both in Sepang and Losail with laps below the official records of both circuits. Reasons more than enough for the Ducati rider to start the approaching season with confidence.
After the end of the pre-season, the two-time champion was asked if this is the year he begins the season with the most confidence. And the Italian replied: ‘For me yes – also last year I was feeling great because in Portimão the GP23 was working perfectly, it was so smooth. But I think yes’.
Asked if he has improved the throttle response, Bagnaia confirmed: ‘We improved and right now is very smooth. We have to be more precise compared to the past years, but when you understand it is better’.
