The second place was good enough for Francesco Bagnaia in today’s race as he himself told at parc ferme, and he highlighted such idea again, also requesting «more» from the bike, saying he needs a few changes in order to fight back for the win tomorrow.
In a team statement the italian said he was happy with what he got to do, saying he couldn’t do anything more to prevent Aleix Espargaro from winning, also without forgetting about Maverick Viñales: ‘I’m satisfied because doing more than this was impossible today. Aleix was too fast, and I just tried to close the lines to Maverick to not give him any chance to overtake me, but in any case, I’m happy overall and I understand something for the race tomorrow’.
And added: ‘It will be important to find some more traction because right now we are losing too much. We are strong in braking but we’re still missing in acceleration, and it will be important to find it for tomorrow‘.
