francesco bagnaia controversial statement on Thai track

‌Francesco Bagnaia faced a challenging race at the MotoGP Australian Grand Prix, where he struggled to compete for top positions. However, the Ducati rider is optimistic about the upcoming Thai Grand Prix at the Chang International Circuit, viewing it as an opportunity to return to form.

Reflecting on his performance in Phillip Island, Bagnaia acknowledged that the team was lacking in certain areas, which hindered their ability to contend for victory.

“Unfortunately, last week in Phillip Island, we were missing something to be able to fight for the win, but we knew it wouldn’t be easy on that track,” he said. Despite the setback, he remains confident in the potential of his bike and team as they head to Buriram.

On paper, the Thai circuit offers a more favorable environment for Ducati’s capabilities. Bagnaia noted, “On paper, the

Chang International Circuit is a track where we can use our potential well.” This optimism is crucial, as the Ducati’s strong acceleration and handling characteristics could be better suited to the layout of the Thai GP.

However, Bagnaia is not overlooking the challenges that lie ahead. Weather conditions in Thailand can be unpredictable, which could impact track conditions and bike setup time.

“It will be important to work well and fast immediately, especially given the unpredictable weather,” he emphasized. This highlights the need for the team to be adaptable and efficient from the outset, ensuring they make the most of every available practice session.

In preparation for the race, Bagnaia has committed to maximizing his performance. “As always, we will do our best to achieve the maximum,” he affirmed, signaling his determination to return to the front of the pack.

As the MotoGP circus heads to Thailand, all eyes will be on Bagnaia to see if he can capitalize on the opportunities presented by the Chang International Circuit and overcome the challenges that await.
