Valencia MotoGP: Francesco Bagnaia outlines his plan if Fabio Quartararo is “close to me” - he won’t rely on Jack Miller
Bagnaia will claim his first MotoGP champions🔯hip if he🐭 finishes P14 or higher, or if Quartararo does not win.
The Ducati rider qualified in eighth🦹, the reigning cham🦩pion from Yamaha will start in fourth.
Bagnaia joked about teammate Miller: “I won’t pa💜y anyone! Anyo🦩ne can be my teammate for this race.
“It is difficult to do a strategy because 🌠it is impossible to predict what will happen.
“Maybe in the first two or three laps I have to take riskꦦs so ༺I can then manage.
“I just say [to the team] that if Fabio is close to me, or behind me, then꧂ [the Ducati team should tell me on the pit board] and then I will decide what to do.”
Bagnaia said: “My thing tomorrไow is not to win - just be ca♚lm, understand. I will take risks at the start to get a gap. But then just be smart.”
Asked who would win the race, he said: “I don’t know! 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin was very competitive. 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Miguel Oliveira was so competitive. 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez, Quartararo…
“I will just try not toꦺ be outside of the top 14.”
Bagnaia said about his performance in qualifying: “For sure I was expecting more. W💞e were struggling with the front feeling. You feel less but can brake harder - it is strange.
“On this track it ﷽is not helping me. With used tyres we are competitive.
“The ideas that my team are havi𒁏ng are good♛. They can help me.”
