• San Marino MotoGP♔, Misano - Friday Practice𝄹 Results

The factory Ducati rider escaped serious inju𓂃ry despite highsiding then being hit by Brad Binder’s KTM last weekend in Ba🐷rcelona.

He was seventh quickest in Friday practice at the San Marino MotoGP - but was left in more pain than he expected, 🔥from the lingering knocks h🌠e suffered in Barcelona.

“I feel like I need a beer,” he insisted.

Asked if he felt bette⛄r than expected returning to the bike, Bagnaia answered: “No, worse. I was hoping to feel b𝔉etter this morning.

“Honestly😼, I can’t move the leg or the foot because I feel pღain from the hematoma.

“Thi💝s morning was toug🍸h because I didn’t understand where to put my foot. 

“Then we moved the brake lever. I was pushing on the brake lever and losing the rear in every fast corner which was scaryౠ.

“This afternoon I understood where to put my foot♚. I can’t lean like usual.

“The pain is intense but I feel better than this morning because we were competitive♈.

“I don’t know what to expect from tomorrow.

“Being topꦉ 10 today was like pole position! We can be happy and satisfied.”

Bagnaia was asked how much 🔴performance he’s losing due to the pain, and replied: “It💦’s very difficult to know. Normally I put out my leg for balance to brake more.

“I can do it but not the same, I’m morওe unstable on𝔉 the braking. 

“When I lean, I miss a bit. But I can’t force it🏅, with my leg. It🅷’s a limitation.

“Luckily this track has a lot of grip.”

Unlike the Caဣtalunya MotoGP last weekend which, in Bagnaia’s opinion, has unacceptably low grip.

“What I’d say to the safety commission?🥃 There must be a mandatory level of grip,♛” he claimed.

“Barcelona is a disaster, it’s too slippery, impossible to plan a weekend wꦑith your tyres. For me, it’s not possible to have a level of grip like in Barcelona.

“It’s unsafe. A little mistake yꦏou crash. It’s not enjoyable to ride on a track where you m💜ust be patient on the gas.”
