Returning to Barcelona this weekend is a return for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia to t💙he scene of his terrifying incident last year.

Bagnaia highsided last September on the first lap of the Catalunya MotoGP and, when h𒐪e landed, he was scarily struck in the legs by Brad Binder’🥀s KTM.

He thankfully avoided major injury.

The reigning MotoGP champion issued a defiant response to returning to race at Barcelona for the first time since he was hospitalise🤪d in that incident.

“Very normal,” Bagnaia told about returning.

“Like racing on any other circuit. It's𓄧 water under the bridge."

Bagnaia said about Montmelo: “It's a꧃ track that I've always liked a lot.

“It is certainly not the safest in the world championsಌhip 🤪due to the asphalt.

“That's why it's dangerous to run in it, but it's one of the most beautiful and charact൩eristic."

Bℱagnaia is 38 points behind champio🍎nship leader Jorge Martin as they head into the Catalunya MotoGP.

“It’s touܫgh. It's a difficult championship, many riders are going strong,” Bagnaia said.

“Many bikes are competitive to win, a ෴bit like in recent years.

“It will be even more complicated. Martin is certܫainly the number one oppon𒁏ent at the moment."

Martin won the✱ sprint and the grand prix, last time out, at L꧟e Mans.

Bagnaia previewed h🐭is ambitions for Barcelona this weekend: “First of all, to finish the race: as in France, here too it has been two years since I crossed the finish line.

“In 2022 they knocked me out at the first cor♏ner, last year I launched myself ღat the second.

“I hope to at least make four turns!

“It was an𒉰other trac🐼k where last year we were flying, we were going very fast.

“Sunday's race with the medium tyre would pr🎃obably have led us to anothe💃r victory, but it went the way it went…”
