Francesco Bagnaia was the fastest, clearly, in the two MotoGP pre-season tests, breaking the official records of the Sepang and Losail circuits. A show of strength from the Ducati rider, who will go for his third title.
Luca Marini, who is competing for Repsol Honda this year, was asked if this performance in the tests is a warning from the two-time champion to the competition. #10 replied:
– I think Pecco is trying to gain more power for his contract with Ducati. He has to renew his contract, I believe he wants more money. So he is showing his strength and doing a great job.
It is worth remembering that Bagnaia is one of several riders at the end of their contracts. A departure from Ducati seems unlikely considering the worth of the Borgo Panigale manufacturer and the competitiveness of the Desmosedici GP. However, the truth is that the rider is available on the market and has many arguments in his favor in negotiations with the current team.
