Almost everything that could go wrong for Francesco Bagnaia did go wrong at the MotoGP Aragon GP. The rider had problems in the first free practice, and also in the Sprint race, before being forced to retire from the main race following a crash with Álex Márquez (Gresini/Ducati).
The crash was severe, just like the one he suffered last year at the Catalan GP… before the San Marino GP, which is the next race coming up. However, the Italian from Ducati assured that the situations are not comparable: ‘Luckly I’m not that bad like Misano last year. […]. It’s just muscular, so I hope to don’t have any more problems’.
Bagnaia regretted the difficulties faced throughout the round at MotorLand Aragón, which were beyond his control, admitting that he is now at a significant disadvantage compared to the championship leader – Jorge Martín (Prima Pramac/Ducati).
– It’s a shame that we had many difficulties in Aragon – not from our side, but for what happened, for many situations. Friday morning we didn’t work because of a problem, in the Sprint we had a problem, in the race I started bad and then a rider decided not to let me finish the race. Instead of ending the weekend a seven-point gap, we finish with 33. This is huge.
