Reigning double MotoGP champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia says he isꦍ “ready to redeem myself” in one of his f💜avourite events, at COTA this weekend.

That phrase could theoretically apply to either the recent Portimao clash with🍸 Marc Marquez, last year’s mistake while leading in Austin, or both.

It is the 2023 error that Bagnaia appears to be referring to, when he fell while lo✃oking comfortably on course to complete a perfect Sprint and Grand Prix 💃double over Alex Rins.

"The Grand Prix of t☂he Americas is one of my favourites on the calendar: the track is fantastic, I enjoy Austin a lot, and even the event's atmosphere is different,” said Bagnaia, wh☂ose Portimao DNF means he has slipped to fourth in the early standings, 23 points from Jorge Martin.

“I arrive👍 in Am▨erica motivated and ready to redeem myself: last year, we were competitive all weekend, and if I hadn't crashed, we would have won the Sunday race too.

“I expect many fast riders this year, and it definitely wi𝓀ll be challenging, but we have a good base from which 🏅to start.

“In the last GP in Portugal, the feeling with the bike was very good, but then, in the race on S🎃unday, we missed something. So, working to avoid that happening again will be important."

Bagnaia’s 2023 Austin exit means current team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini remains the only Ducati rider to have won at the circuit, courtesy of his 2022 victory in Gresini col📖ours.

Bastianini, who finished second 🌳to Martin in Portimao, currently holds third place in the world championship standings.

"I'm thrilled to return to America, where I missed racing last year due to the shoulder injury,” said Bastianini. “COTA is a track I deepl♚y enjoy, and it holds fond memories of 2022, when I c💝linched my second MotoGP win, my favourite of that year.

“Following the performance in Portugal, I arrive in Austin feeling motiva👍ted and confident.

“I anticipate a fierce Grand Prix, but we're well-prepared: we have a solid base setup and a clear uဣnderstanding of areas for improvement, so we're determined to contend at the forefront again this weekend."
