Valentino Rossi breaks down the sprint race and previews the Austrian MotoGP
A long lap penalty to rival Jorge Martin enabled Bagnaia, the VR46 Academy graduate, to win the Saturday race and retake the lead in the championship.
“It's not easy to always start well, every now and then someone gets it wrong and instead he's always there. And he’s incredibly fast.""Yes, lately under pressure he's giving his all, he manages to bring out that extra bit,” he said. Rossi warned factory Ducati rider Bagnaia that Pramac’s Martin could contest the championship until the final day, as he did last year.
“Now we have to see every weekend, because Martin is a very fast rider, he doesn't make many mistakes, he has the fastest lap too. He starts well, these are the important things in MotoGP now and it will be a good fight until the end.""In my opinion, Pecco was in a good condition before the break because he had passed him,” Rossi said.
