“He has already saidও tha♏t he’s sorry for the mistake he made,” Tardozzi said to BT Sport.
“He was not able to accelerate out of the corner like the🌼 other Ducatis. We need to know why.
“His front tyre overheated so he c🔴ould not brake hard.
“When it cooled down he was able to recover and gain something on the b💛rakes.”
Tardozzi admitted that the aim for Bagnaia, who started in 12th, was solely to finish ahead of Quartararo, who started ninth: “Yes.ღ The goal was obvious.
“You start the year trying to win as many races as possible. But at a certain point you have to think about the❀ ch🃏ampionship.
“You look to [the other] contender.
“Since Aragon, we look to Fabio every week.
“Losing two points is better🌃 than losing eight points.”
Quartararo finished eighth at the Japanese MotoGP while Bagnaia’s teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Jack Miller took victory.
