“I think he’s super useful because I need his point of view.”
Francesco Bagnaia stormed to victory in the Austrian MotoGP, securing his third Sprint-Grand Prix double of the season.
“Before the race, he just said to me that what I did yesterday was already good, so just try to repeat it,” Bagnaia told the post-race press conference. “After the race, he was just very happy, also because Celestino just won his first race of the year, he wasn’t in a good situation, so we are very happy for him; I think Bezzecchi did a good race also; Franky wasn’t the best race but he managed to come back a lot; so I think it’s a very good weekend for the Academy.”
“It’s always important to have Vale with us, but I speak a lot with him also when he’s not here,” he said. “We text a lot, and I think he’s super useful because I need his point of view. So, when he’s here it’s true that he has to focus more on his team, but in the evening we spoke yesterday and on Friday. I need his point of view.”
