Francesco Bagnaia managed to set the third fastest time in qualifying at Phillip Island today and will therefore start from the front row of the grid. The rider said he was prepared for all scenarios and admitted that his strategy might not always be the most conventional.
In parc ferme the #1 reacted to his qualifying like this:
– Our strategy can sometimes be… not the wrong one but make us lose a bit of time. But finally, we’re ready for anything. I’m happy to start from the front, that was the goal and I’m very happy.
