Francesco Bagnaia will be looking to build on an ope🐬ning weekend that saw him claim a second career podium and first for the factory team. 

Bagnaia also set a new lap record around the Losail International C🌜ircuit during qualifying, as he became the only rider to ever la▨p under the 1m 53s barrier. . 

The Italian led more laps than anyone during the race, and it wasn’t until 7 lℱaps remaining that Bagnaia lost the lead to eventual race winner Maverick Vinales. 

The 201ℱ8 Moto2 champion cited a ‘wrong strategy’ღ of pushing too hard at the beginning which cost him the opportunity to keep pace with Vinales.

But loo💮king ahead to the second race in Doha, Bagnaia is hoping to learn from the data in order to challenge for the win this ti🎀me around. 

"Last week, I went close to getting my first MotoGP win, but 𒉰unfortunately, the strategy I adopted in the race turned out to be wrong," added Bagnaia. 

"I pushed too hard at the start, and that prevented me from maintaining the same pace until the end🥃. 

"Still, I managed to get on the podium, and I'm pleased about that because it was a great way to start my new🐓 adventure with the Ducati Lenovo Team. 

"This𒈔 week I'll definitely aim for something more. The track conditions last Sunday were particular because of ♍the wind and the sand on the track surface. 

"Now, w🎀e'll analyse the data to be able to fight for the victory until the last lap of th🉐e Doha GP."
