Bagnaia crashed out of Japan MotoGP race because he was “too ambitious”

Francesco Bagnaia admits he was 'too ambitious' while chasing Fabio Quartararo in the JapaneseGP - and that caused him to crash out of the race on the final lap. MotoGP

The Italian endured a difficult race as front tyre pressure problems riding in the pack starting from 12th hindered his advance through the order.

It marked Bagnaia’s fifth DNF of the 2022 season and sees him drop 18 points behind Quartararo with just four races remaining. “I was too ambitious, because finishing behind Fabio, or waiting to have a better opportunity to make a safer move was for sure better, thinking after the race. “So, I was ambitious, it’s the only thing I can do to try to win the championship. So, the mistake was the crash for sure.”Bagnaia admitted he was lucky to not hit Quartararo, while clarifying that his sarcastic slow clap while he walked away from his crash was directed at himself.
