Bagnaia is unsure of the problem that caused him to slip from fourth to 14th in the BritishGP sprint race:
MotoGP championship leader Francesco Bagnaia says he is unsure what the issue was which caused him to finish 14th in a “very difficult” British Grand Prix sprint race.The Ducati rider lined up fourth for Saturday’s race before dropping five positions on the opening lap.Enea BastianiniReigning world champion Bagnaia said he felt like “something was not working well” during the earlier warm-up session, with the bike “moving a lot”.
“It was very difficult but we know our level, we know that 15th is not our position, it’s not our target and we will work for tomorrow.”He continued: “[The bike] was moving a lot. In the warm-up lap I just tried to warm the wet tyres and I went wide almost everywhere. He had a similarly difficult outing at Silverstone last year, having finished Friday’s running in 11th, slightly improving on Saturday morning to finish FP3 in seventh place before qualifying in fifth for the race.
“It’s very important not to push too much or in the wrong moment so I think we have the package, we have the performance to be in the front, to fight, and in both cases dry or wet I think we can fight for the top positions.”
