At the end of this Dutch Grand Prix, Francesco Bagnaia emerges victorious once again this season. The Italian is back to 10 points behind his rival Jorge Martin. A fantastic operation just one race before the summer break. This success allows the Ducati rider to regain confidence and hopes to return to fight for the world champion title and retain his world crown. The winner of this event has noticed progress in the pace of his bike.
“It was very fast! I don’t know how many seconds we’re faster, but it’s 30 seconds faster than last year. It’s incredible. Session after session, it’s been incredible with the team doing a fantastic job this weekend. I’m very, very proud of what we managed to achieve. I tried to be really, really gentle. I was losing a little bit in the first sector. And on some parts with the front tyre, it was a little bit more complicated. And then, I used the other parts of the circuit to increase my lead. What was a little bit more difficult was the wind that got up a little bit during the race. Now, I feel fantastic. We can hardly be better. Now, we’re going to the Sachsenring. It’s a circuit on which we are strong. But Marc [Marquez] and Jorge [Martin] can be very strong. We’re going to try to have the same weekend we just had. I’m ready to fight for the title.”
