RiderTua.com – After only finishing 4th in Saturday’s sprint, Pecco Bagnaia allowed no mistakes in the main race of the Qatar GP. The Ducati Lenovo rider showed his fangs by leading the race from the start to the finish line.
When asked, how could this significant increase occur? Pecco answered that during Sunday’s race it was very important to change strategy. Especially for the early stages of the race. And he thinks it would have made a difference if he had been more aggressive from the start of the race. Because Pecco must have the potential to maintain that high speed. And that’s what has been confirmed, he said..

Then Francesco Bagnaia emphasized, “In this case, yesterday was an important lesson for us. This sprint taught us what kind of treatment a new motorbike needs. Now we are taking this information to Portimao. However, the grip conditions there will be very different. We have to wait and see. But if there is a problem, now we know how to react to it.”
The key to success at the Qatar GP is consistency. Valentino Rossi’s student managed to cover the entire distance in 0.3 seconds. “The thought was to race faster than yesterday. And it worked very well so I was able to complete the laps very consistently,” said the 2022 and 2023 MotoGP World Champion.
His 19th MotoGP victory should make Pecco more confident. Pecco and the team are not proud because they have to remember that the season is still very, very long and there are still many tracks to come, where they have no experience with the new motorbike, especially in terms of tire wear. “We have to wait and see, but I am very confident,” concluded Carola Bagnaia’s younger brother.
