Coming from two consecutive wins, Francesco Bagnaia faces the MotoGP Dutch GP this weekend with the possibility to end the round at Assen as the championship leader. The Ducati rider also won the last two races in the Netherlands.
The two-time world champion of the premier class described his break in recent weeks: ‘After Mugello, having three weeks off to recover was good. I rested a bit, but above all, I continued to train, riding around the track with my Panigale V4S and then participating in a Monster Energy event at Silverstone with other riders’.
As for the Dutch GP, Bagnaia highlightes that this is one of his favourite rounds: ‘I’m happy to resume the season from Assen, one of my favourite tracks that I also have tattooed on my arm’.
In the view of the Italian rider, there are good chances to keep the sequence of strong results going: ‘In the last GPs, we have worked well, and my feeling with the Desmosedici has been very good. I am coming from two consecutive wins, three if we also count the Mugello Sprint, so, for sure, there are the conditions to continue to do well. Hopefully, the weather will be good and allow us to work consistently since the first Friday session, but in any case, I am ready to face the weekend in any condition’.
