Bagnaia: Race completely changed when I saw Fabio was out Full story 👉 MotoGP AustralianGP
“It was very easy to make mistakes today. In Turn 6 I was losing a lot of time because I was feeling that the front was closing every lap.“They were more competitive than me in the last laps, so I just tried to be close to them because I knew that behind me there was a big group.”Bagnaia had a nerve-wracking start to the race when, like Johann Zarco behind, he was unable to engage his front holeshot device as he pulled onto the front row.
“It’s something that you have to be prepared for, because it can happen,” he said of being unable to lower the front of the bike for the start. “It was a bit more dangerous without it, because your bike starts to wheelie and it’s more difficult to control. “In qualifying he’s struggling more to be in the front row or top positions. So, I don't know what happened, but it’s quite clear that Yamaha is in this moment having a problem in the races.
“If I start thinking about the pressure, it will put pressure on me, so I will not think about it,” Bagnaia said.
