Francesco Bagnaia was only beaten by Jorge Martín (Prima Pramac/Ducati) in the qualifying for the MotoGP Japanese GP. Therefore, he will start from second place in the races at Motegi.
The Italian rider from Ducati, who leads the championship, stated in the flash interview with the official broadcast that he made progress during the second free practice and is pleased with his performance:
– I’m happy. This morning in the FP2 we did another step in front and we were so competitive. So, let’s see this afternoon. But I’m very happy.
