Francesco Bagnaia had one of the strongest weekends of the season in Barcelona, but was excluded from the race following a crash on Sunday. The Italian rider said he took important lessons from his experience at Le Mans and was excited to return to racing.
Race Developments
Factory Ducati rider Francesco Bagnaia drew attention with his outstanding performance throughout the weekend at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. He finished second behind Jorge Martin in the sprint race, making a strong start. He began the Sunday race from second place but was unable to continue after a crash on the 10th lap.
During the race, Bagnaia also set the fastest lap, demonstrating Ducati’s proximity to achieving its best results this season. After the race, Bagnaia expressed that he was encouraged by his weekend at Le Mans: “Considering how the weekend in France went, I can say that I’m excited to get back on the track.”
Bagnaia stated that he was satisfied with the overall performance of the weekend, saying, “Barcelona is one of the circuits where the Desmosedici is always strong.” “We were fast from the beginning of the weekend. We constantly competed with the strongest riders and secured pole position. In the race, we showed the fastest pace we could and maintained it. We were constantly in podium contention.”
Technical Issues and Future Plans
Bagnaia stated that a technical issue originating from the front of the motorcycle had a significant impact on the race, but the Ducati team was working to resolve the problem. “We clearly know the source of the problem and the team is currently working on a solution. I am confident that it will be resolved by the Catalonia weekend.”
Due to Marc Marquez’s ongoing recovery process from shoulder and foot problems, Bagnaia will be the only factory Ducati rider on the track this weekend.
Bagnaia will continue to work throughout the weekend and will try to maximize the yield from Monday’s test session. “We will continue from where we left off in Catalonia.”
