Pecco Bagnaia : After a Long Time, This is the Best Friday

RiderTua.com – Pecco Bagnaia is really in a worrying position going into qualifying 1 on Friday at COTA Texas. However, the two-time MotoGP World Champion managed to jump from outside the top 10 to 4th in his penultimate lap.

“Honestly I feel fine. I think after a long time this was the best Friday. So I’m happy. My feeling was very good and we managed to have a good session. We used a different strategy to the others, by covering more laps with “medium rear tire,” said the VR46 student after failing to lead the race at the American GP a year ago.

Francesco Bagnaia added that the strategy worked and he was happy. But he also saw that the soft tire had good potential, so tomorrow he will do more laps on the soft to determine the type of racing tire.

On Friday’s timesheets, the rider from Turin, Italy was in 4th position with a difference of 0.4 seconds to Jorge Martin (Pramac Ducati) and Maverick Vinales (Aprilia). Pecco explained that what is certain is that Jorge Martin posted a very good time, like Maverick Vinales. But he is sure tomorrow (Saturday) will be different.

Currently Pecco Bagnaia has fallen to 4th in the standings after clashing with Marc Marquez at Portimao. Meanwhile, his teammate Enea Bastianini is in 8th place.
