The Red Bull Ring did not go well for the Ducati factory team last Sunday. The Styria GP should be a good opportunity to collect points on Quartararo. Instead, the Frenchman rose higher in the ranking. ONAfter the restart, Bagnaia struggled with a non-working rear tire and was strayed too often from the track after a 3-second penalty, placing him 11th. Miller, on the other hand, crashed while chasing the Frenchman.
The only consolation is that they are back on the Austrian circuit and Jorge Martin has proven that the Desmosedici is a winner.
“We had a really important opportunity last week and I hope we have another this Sunday“Said Pecco, crossing his fingers 58 points from Quartararo.
“At the first start I had a really good feeling with the bike and had the feeling that I could fight for victory. But after the red flag, I didn’t have the same sensations in race 2, ”he recalls. “We now have an excellent foundation from which to build up the work this weekend and we are sure to find that last Sunday’s experience will be of use to us. The weather will again be the real variable, but we’ll try to prepare for the race in all conditions. I am determined to finish the Austrian GP well. “
Jack (now -72) also has a lot to blame for the mistake in the race.
“We’ll be racing again at the Red Bull Ring this weekend and it will be an opportunity for me to rehabilitate after last Sunday’s crash“, The Australian expressed his goal. “The podium was really within reach. The team did a great job and I felt very comfortable with the bike and When I fell, I didn’t feel like I asked too much from the front, although I probably did. Over the past few days the team has had the opportunity to analyze the data to understand what happened and we have important references to better prepare for the Austrian GP. My goal is to bring home a good result this weekend. “
