Francesco Bagnaia took pole for the MotoGP Emilia Romagna Grand Prix sporting a tribute hel💙met supporting an Italian autism charity.

As is tradition for the Italian riders on the 🀅Saturday of a race weekend at Misano, Bagnaia unveiled a special helmet design, which this week is decorated with pictures of pieces of tortellini.

According to Ducati, it is a tribute to Tortellante - a⛦ non-profit𓃲 organisation in Italy which supports young people with autism.

The initiative, which was set up in 2016, ꩲbrings young people with autism together to classes where they make past by hand.

The idea behind the project is to provide a therapeutic activity for young people who have been diagnosed with auﷺtism, while also helping them prepare for adult life and provide support for their families.

The project hopes to raise more a▨wareness for autism and promote commuꦐnity inclusion.

Bagnaia is also running a tribu𒐪te on his bike to the late Luca Salvadori,𒆙 who lost his life in a road racing accident in Germany last weekend.

The reigning double world champion topped Friday practice at the Emilia Romagna GP and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:carried that f🌳orm into qualifying on Saturday morning.

Bagnaia beat🐈 st♔andings leader Jorge Martin by 0.214s after posting a new lap record of 1m30.031s.

The Ducat🗹i rider said afterwards tha🌱t the cooler conditions made it “difficult to push” in Q2.

“Yesterday, I said it could be difficult for the temperature and it was more or less the🧜 situation, because it was diff🎶icult to push like we wanted in the left corners,” he said in parc ferme.

“But I’m veryꩲ happy, because being on pole position is the most important thing and we start i൲n the best position possible to try to win this afternoon.”

Martin also said in parc ferme that it will be “a difficult ꦇtask to beat Pecco” in this afternoon’s sprint.

Just sꦆeven points split theꦰ pair ahead of the Emilia Romagna GP sprint race.
