nine victories and six sprints wonfinds himself in second place in the championship, 17
points behind Jorge Martinwho, with
three victories and six sprintsknew how to do well. Tardozzi expressed his irritation: “ what annoys me a little is that 'Pecco' won half of the races and is second in the World Championship. We have to think about it for the future. »

it's no coincidence that he leads the championship. When it's time to calm down, he does that too. »
As the fight for the title rages on,
Tardozzi also wanted to recall that this friendly competition between Martin et
Bagnaia should not overshadow the exceptional performance of A dozeni as a team. “
We support Martin as best we can. » It remains to be seen how this internal tension and rivalry will develop in future races. In a
