Valencia MotoGP: Francesco Bagnaia outlines his plan if Fabio Quartararo is “close to me” - he won’t rely on Jack Miller
Bagnaia will claim his first MotoGP championship if he finishes P14 or higher, or if Quartara꧃ro does not win.
The Ducati rider qualified in eighth, t﷽he reigning champion from Yamaha will ꧒start in fourth.
Bagnaia joked about teamma𒁏te Miller: “I won’t pay anyone! Anyone can be my teammate for this race.
“It is difficult to do a stratꦗegy because it is impossible to predict what will happen.
“Maybe in the first two or three laps I have to take risks༺ so I can then manage.
“I just say [to the t🍬eam] that if Fabio is close to me, or behind me, then [the Ducati team should tell me on the pit board] and then I will decide what to do.”
Bagnaia said: “My thing tomorrow is not to win - just be calm, understand. I will take risks at the 🔴start to get a gap. But then just be smart.”
Asked who would win the race, he said: “I don’t know! 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin was very competitive. 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Miguel Oliveira was so competitive. 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez, Quartararo…
“I will just try not to be o♐utside of the top 14.”
Bagnaia said about his performance in qualifying: “For sure I was expecting more. We were struggling with the front f☂eeling. You feel less but can brꦆake harder - it is strange.
“On this track it is not helping me. With used tyre𝓰s we are competitive.
“Th🅠e ideas that my team 🐬are having are good. They can help me.”
