With Francesco Bagnaia’s MotoGP title lead reduced to just 13 points after crashing out in India, solving his braking woes is the top priority for this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix.
While the Ducati engineers have been combing through the data in search of a fix, the reigning world champion revealed he has been studying video footage.
“On Monday night at 3am I was watching videos of the braking points at the last three rounds. Viewing it was easy to understand what was wrong. The rear was doing something strange,” he said. “Normally, it is a normal slide which I can control, in the last weekends the rear slide was over the limit. We understand that. We decided to go a different way this weekend, we will start with two set-ups to understand the way to follow. It is clear, for us, to improve that area.”IN contrast to a year ago, when he was hunting down Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo, Bagnaia is now ‘the prey’ with Martin 13 points adrift and Buddh winner Marco Bezzecchi 44 from the top.
“I am the prey,” he smiled. “Right now, there are 14 races still. I don’t feel in have more pressure. Last year was more intense, a title [Ducati] were missing from 15 years. “Now I know perfectly if everything is okay we can fight for the win, in a bad moment we can [still] finish second or third. We must focus on being perfect, we can be competitive always. I’m not too worried.”
