Francesco Bagnaia stunned by Pol Espargaro collision at MotoGP Sepang test: “I don’t have many words…”
The Ducati rider appeared to be slightly ahead of the Tech3 GASGAS r💛ider when they briefly touched ♔- causing both men to furiously gesticulate at each other.
“I don’t have many words about it,” said a bemused B♒agnaia.
“It was the out-lap꧑. He goes wide, trying to overtake me, cutting my line.
“I wasn’t able to do a🍸nything. Then he was wide, I was in my territory, then he touched me. It was useless, from my point of view.”
Reigning MotoGP champion Bagnaia was fifth-fastest on the second day of preseason testing in Sepang, while Espa🃏rgaro was third-fastest on a day marred by rain𓆉.
Bagnaia chatted afterwards to ex-teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller who got his first taste of the KTM bike in wet conditions - the machinery that aide🍸d Miguel Oliveira in winning two races in the rain last season.
“I asked🅰 if he understood why Miguel was so fast in the wet last year! He said ‘it’s a different bike’,” Bagnaia said.
“We have an advantage in br💟aking. But assimilation? 🐓KTM in the wet is very competitive. I was very curious about it.
“The grip was quite strange. In some corners it was slippery,𝕴 💙in other corners it was grippy. I didn’t understand why.
“My feeling in thꦺe wet was so much better than last year. It helped me a lot.
“W𒀰e didn’t ꧑do any laps in the dry. My feeling is comfortable. It is a step forwards from [Friday].”
