“O𝓀ur vacation ended earlier than the other riders,” said Bagnaia, who also go🃏t married during the break.
“Last week, we were in Misano for the World Ducati Week, and we were able to challenge 🐼ourselves with the new Panigale V4 S. It was a nice opportunity to get reacquainted with the track, but especially to meet all our fans from all over the world.
“After the Lenovo R𓆉ace of Cham꧙pions, now it's back to serious business!
“During this break, I also rested, and now I am ready to face this second part ⛎of the season, which will surely be very intense and challenging. I can't wait for Friday to pick up wher🐠e we left off.”
Bagnaౠia finished a close second in last year’s British Grand Prix after being passed by Aprilia’s Aleix Espargaro on the final lap.

“We will give it our all as always, and I can't wait to take to the track with the special fai𝔉ring for the 75th Anniversary of the Championship.”
