Sprint races have been a disaster in 2024 for two-time MotoGP champion Bagn༒aia, and although the gap to championship leader Martin is 39 points, his performances in grand prix’s are what has led the factory Ducati rider to remain a contender.

Bagnaia is yet to finish on the podium in 🌳a sprint race this season, something that looked like changing in Barcelona last weekend before he crashed from a comfortable lead on the final lap.

But in grand prix situations Bagnaia has turned his sprint nightm🐠ares into Sunday su😼ccess, winning half the races so far this season. 

Speaking about turning his luck around on Saturday's, Bagnai𓆉a believes it’s a matter of time: “Honestly, it is not the fact that I’m slow or that I’m struggling. 

“If you look at the last three sprint races; in Jerez I was strong enough to fight for the win but I ﷽had contact with Brad [Binder], then in Le Mans I had an electronics problem with the bike and had to stop.

“The last one I was leading with seven tenths♚ of gap🐎 and was controlling everything perfectly.

“It can happen to cr🅷ash but the potential is there. We ar🐈e always strong enough to fight for the win in the sprint.

“I just need to have a bit more luck to finish oneꦡ. The potential is there.”
