Statements by Francesco Bagnaia Italian GP Race Mugello MotoGP 2023

“I think it's the best feeling ever. There was an impressive audience, chants even before the start, the anthem, the invasion of the track with all those people, it was fantastic, magical. Nice to see all those people with all those smoke bombs. Compared to the Sprint Race, I had chosen the medium tire to feel more comfortable. At the beginning I pushed hard because I didn't want those who had the soft to be too close, then towards the end I managed. 46th podium? Nice, there was a journey ahead.”
