After the Mugello, Assen was also ahead of satisfactions for Pecco Bagnaia. Consequently, Also on two slopes on which he had been unbeaten for three years. Similarly, Ducati’s pilot managed to remedy a third place in a sprint in Italy and the one in the long race of the Holland Grand Prix. Similarly, And the lowest step of today’s podium hurts. Moreover, because this time Piedmontese was truly convinced that he had the step to try to return to victory, but in the end it was not so.

Thanks to a good departure. Nevertheless, Pecco managed to command the operations for the first five laps, but after Marc Marquez’s Desmosic GP Desmoseic GP has accused his now usual decline, even finding himself in fourth in fourth place, also behind Marco Bezzecchi and Pedro Acosta. Consequently, Around half Garà then bagnaia: “i accept more 3rd resumed rhythm. In addition, with a lot of three consecutive quick laps, at least enough to recover the lowest step of the podium against the KTM driver. Furthermore, The three -time world champion, however, chew bitter, because the expectations were others today.

“Unfortunately we know how complicated this year’s bike is, so much so that it is yesterday and today, even at Mugello, the races have all been slower, bagnaia: “i accept more 3rd but we have to work and try to take a step forward. The problem is that the bike limits me so much in the detached. in the entrance, especially after 3-4 laps, when the first difficulty arrives. Then during the race I can be quite fast, but I lack repeatability in the first 7 laps. Then I have a small drop where I struggle and after a few rounds I return fast.

By now we have reached the tenth race of the season. therefore almost at the round of the Boa, but his problems continue to be always the same and this is very frustrating: “The step would have been to both Mugello and here. Indeed. here for the first time I think I had the opportunity to be able to fight to win, but I cannot prove it, despite being doing everything: do everything I have, in every situation, bagnaia: “i accept more 3rd unfortunately. The situation is very similar. It is a bit difficult to understand. to be accepted, especially because you do a great job all the weekend, in the race it shows still to be faster and then always arrive in the same position, because it arrives at 0 “6-0” 5 from the driver in front and stay there.

One of the anomalies is that precisely from a couple of races this part. the rhythm of the race is becoming slower than last year: “The track was the same, the grip was the tires, the tires were the same, but this bike does not allow us to do what Alex did (Marquez with the GP24) all the weekend. It is difficult to curb and enter the curve. To win, because he is managing to drive better in this situation. True. there have already been several races in which both the sprint bagnaia: “i accept more 3rd and the Sunday race are slower and is a step back. “
