MotoGP Jerez: Francesco Bagnaia: “I accept the penalty but in the future we need more consistency”

Bagnaia made the move on Miller on the exit of turn six after his former MotoGP teᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚammate ran wide aboard his KTM.
The current world champion inevitably saw an opening, however✃, it resulted in Miller having to avoid a potential cr𝔉ash, which angered the Australian.

Speaking on if the penalty that saw him have to give the place back was f❀air, Bagnaia added: "I don’t want to say too much on the penalty. I just want to say that I accept it but in the future we need consistency.
"So today, if I take this penalty which for me wasn’t🅷 so risky [of an overtake] compared to other touches we saw this year, then I just want consistency. If I see it then I accept it."
After overtaking Miller for a second time, Bagnaia didn’t loo🍰k back as he went on to pressure Brad Binder before winning the race thanks to an overtake with three laps remaining.
"After I overtook Jack [Miller] I just needed one or two laps to have again the same fe🌌eling with the front," said Bagnaia. "As soon as I felt ☂it again I pushed. I was quite surprised with the 1m 37.9s but I said I wanted to catch him.
"I managed weꦇll the tyres on the first part of the race because last year it was more or less the same.
"But it wasn’t easy because 𒈔as soon as I was behind again, then the front feeling was quite stressed. I tried to overtake him quickly to not stress i💜t again."
In parc ferme after the race, ꧟Bagnaia was seen pointing at the number one plate on his Ducati, a clear message to his critics following criticism for crashes in Argentina and America.
And while Bagnaia laughed about it, he did say⛄ ♓it was an gesture to boost his ego.
Bagnaia stated: "Was more for my ego. For me, this race wasn’t easy mentally because after two cras🐽hes it was very easy not to be calm.
"W⛄hen I saw the possibility I just tried to be in the front again and I want𝄹ed this victory to motivate my team for the work we are doing. Was for me, for my ego. It’s a good race for the #1."
