Before the end of the race at Silverstone in second place, Francesco Bagnaia admits that the chance to fight for the championship is getting tougher as Fabio Quartararo continues to beat and win races.
The Ducati rider, who lost the runner-up in the championship in 14th and is now responsible for Joan Mir, spoke about his chances for the title: “What we can say is that Fabio has not won yet, but he has a very good void for us, we have not lost our ambition to do our best and be ahead of him, but the truth is that he is the strongest at the moment, is always at the top and in no situation has problems.
Despite everything, it is important for Bagnaia to think positively: “We always have to think positively and always try to stay ahead, but it is very difficult because you can do your best job on a weekend, but then something happens in the race” and you can’t do what you’ve been doing all weekend and that’s more difficult. ‘
Quartararo leads with 201 points, 65 more than Mir, and Bagnaia is now fourth with 136 points.
