Valentino Rossi he enjoyed a great show yesterday at Jerez de la Frontera (Spain)headquarters of fourth round of the 2024 MotoGP World Championship. On the circuit dedicated to the memory of Angel Nieto, Francesco Bagnaia he took great revenge. After not having achieved great results and fresh from the crash in the Sprint Race in Spain, Pecco wanted to show everyone that he is still the No. 1 in the category.
The Piedmontese centaur did it, showing off amazing overtaking, a great pace it’s a strenuous resistance against an attacking Marc Marquez, who in the last part of the race had managed to catch up with Bagnaia on the run, attempting to overtake in the third sector of the track with five laps to go. In that case, Bagnaia made it clear to the Iberian that there was no intention of letting himself be passed.
In turn 10, the two came into contact and Pecco’s entry into the Spaniard was at the limit. Luckily no consequences crazy fans on the circuit and in front of the TV. To the microphones of Sky Sports, Rossi analyzed some relevant aspects. Primarily, prodded on the topic of Bagnaia’s detractorswho describe the Ducati rider only as a calculator and capable of winning essentially on the best bike of the lot, declared: “I would really like to know who it is that isn’t completely convinced of him yet“.
Subsequently, turning to the Ducati rider who was also present at the station’s microphones, he added: “I will be indebted to you for life, I don’t know if I will be able to do something as good as your race today“. A somewhat cryptic and mischievous reference one can think that the fact of having beaten Marquez in that way was also a source of satisfaction for the “Doctor”knowing the history of the clashes between him and the Cabroncito. Bagnaia replied to him: “It seems to me that you have already given enough. It is worth saying that we are equal“.
