🗣 'We all have to risk in this moment because it’s so important to be in front.' Ducati’s Francesco Bagnaia says “this is the moment to attack” Fabio Quartararo in the 2022 MotoGP title fight and says he needs to take risks in the final three races:
Bagnaia begins this weekend’s Australian Grand Prix just two points behind Quartararo having overturned a 91-point deficit since June’s German Grand Prix.
The Italian has only recently begun publicly to consider himself as a championship challenger but remains adamant that he will not change his approach in races right now. As a result, he admits he must “risk” to beat Quartararo now, though concedes Phillip Island is “not the best” for the Ducati. “I have to risk for sure, like him,” Bagnaia, who ended Friday’s running eighth overall, said when asked about the title battle.“These two races for sure are not the best for our bike, but we already demonstrated in tracks where we were slow last year we were competitive this year.“So, we will be pushing and try to do the best possible and try not to think too much about the championship. It’s good to think about the championship, but this is the moment to attack.
