Despite becoming Ducati’s second-ever MotoGP world champion, Francesco Bagnaia has targeted an era of domination before he can be considered as the key factor 🗝️ Full story ⬇️
Despite becoming only Ducati’s second MotoGP world champion, Francesco Bagnaia still believes he has to make improvements to be seen as the key factor rather than the bike.Last season Bagnaia achieved what seemed unthinkable by recovering from a 91-point deficit toto be crowned world champion at the final round in Valencia, marking Ducati’s first riders’ title in 15 years, since Casey Stoner’s 2007 triumph at the start of the 700cc era.
As expected, Bagnaia’s feat earned him praise from all sides, especially given his comeback fight, highlighted by four consecutive victories between the Assen and Misano rounds, that helped him slash the initial points deficit., Bagnaia accepts he is title favourite this year but remains humble about the season and his standing in Ducati., while the same can also be said of Fabio Quartararo for his 2021 title win for Yamaha, Bagnaia hasn’t been given the same level of credit for his 2022 feat.
Bagnaia feels he hasn’t earned that status off the back of his first MotoGP world title, but feels he could enter that conversation with a run of multiple world championships for Ducati. “I haven't earned that right yet. If I show that I am the one who is always in front with this bike, that only I win and that I win three titles in a row, then we will have to talk about Pecco,” reflects Bagnaia, when speaking to Autosport.After scoring maximum points in the Portugal opener by winning the sprint and the grand prix, Argentina was a tough round for Bagnaia as he only scored four points thanks to sixth place in the sprint before he crashed in the grand prix.
