Statements Pecco Bagnaia Physical Preparation MotoGP 2024

“Last season was difficult. I crashed more than once and it will be very important to be consistent. As always, you have to be competitive, but pay particular attention to consistency – explained the #1 of the Borgo Panigale manufacturer as reported by Motosan – I want to try to be as far ahead as possible in the 44 races (including Sprints, ed.), we absolutely have to strategize and draw a line. Last year we were well prepared for everything. I think it was our best year in terms of preparation. But we also had a three-week break in May and a five-week break in July; This year we will only have three weeks in July. But I think our coach at the Academy will prepare us for everything. We will be in top form for the tenth race of the season.”

“I think many riders will be very competitive this season. The 2023 Ducati that Marquez will race with is a winning bike, certainly much better than the one he rode last season (Honda, ed.). So for sure he will be the protagonist. Martin still my main rival? I don't know, surely he will be very strong. He is a good rider and very competitive, but it is still early to talk about power relations. Let's wait and see what happens.
