Pecco Bagnaia confirmed at Misano that appetite comes with food, even when it comes to MotoGP victories. After his great success in Aragon, the Ducati rider was able to repeat his performance on the Ducati home circuit. held an almost perfect Fabio Quartararo back until the last lap. As always, Carlo Pernat commented on the race for us in front of a bottle of Prosecco DOC.
In addition to the duel between the two title contenders, the real man of the day was undoubtedly Enea Bastianini, who climbed onto the podium from 12th place on the grid after a terrific comeback. Then there was the debut of Dovizioso on the Yamaha, which no one expected so hard for the three-time MotoGP runner-up.
“We are in Misano, the country of the best Italian drivers – said Pernat – except for Bagnaia, who comes from Turin and who repeated himself here after the wonderful victory in Aragon. He still wants to play the World Cup and I think he can put pressure on Quartararo. Fabio has his head on his shoulders, he has limited the damage and only loses 5 points, but the pressure is there.
Two Ducatis on the podium with the two Bs from Bagnaia and Bastianini. Enea deserves a special mention for having ridden a fantastic race on a 2019 bike and is on the right track. Miller had a good race but his driving style is using too much tires and I think he can’t fight for the world championship anymore.
Yellow audience in the stands, with a lot of nostalgia for saying goodbye to Valentino Rossi, who is no longer the racing driver we knew. Then there was Dovi’s Yamaha debut which I think would do better. But I think he has time to work on the bike for the next season. “
