BritishGP winner Francesco Bagnaia says he asked MotoGP legends Valentino Rossi and Casey Stoner for advice, after struggling in practice ⬇️
The Italian finished Friday’s running in 11th, slightly improving on Saturday morning to finish FP3 in seventh place before qualifying in fifth for the race.
He said: “This weekend I spoke a lot with Valentino, more. He told me a lot to understand better the situation, because I was a bit in trouble at the weekend. “And this morning he sent me a message and I just tried to do something in the way he had done in the past and was good, but maybe not for the tyre we have now. Asked to elaborate on Stoner’s advice, Bagnaia added: “He was great at finding traction at the exit of the corner, and this was his suggestion for today. I tried to wait more on opening gas, it was a bit better.
Despite having closed the gap from 91 to 49 points in two races, Bagnaia said he would still “like to think race-by-race” and acknowledges the part Quartararo’s long-lap penalty played in his win. “But then also Aleix yesterday had a big crash but today was not competitive like Maverick was and so today I had a great day in terms of championship.
