Today the doubts that were around Francesco Bagnaia and his participation in this San Marino GP have disappeared after the rider was considered fit to race, but he himself antecipates some problems as he isn’t feeling so strong. He still has a big bruise on his right leg and some issues with mobility.
On the preview of this race, the italian considered to be lucky, as he told: ‘I am pleased and lucky to be here. I want to say thanks to the hard work that Alpinestars are doing in terms of safety. They are the top in the world for protection. This is my home grand prix, it’s important to be here. It’s not easy’.
And recalled his first day after the accident suffered: ‘Monday was not an easy day. I’m proud of the work we did, it’s incredible what we did from monday until now. All weekend I’ll do therapy and I’ll improve every day. Let’s see. I jumped on the bike before, and I feel OK’.
Even if he was allowed to ride his bike, the italian from Ducati says he still isn’t at his best and is still injured in a big area: ‘On my booty! This won’t help. The biggest one is where the Binder impact arrived, on my right knee. I have a big hematoma on my right knee. It will be a problem to move my leg’.
