Bagnaia is🔥 well on his way to making it back-to-back MotoGP titles a🅷fter winning eight races already this season.

No other rider has more than three, while ཧBagnaia is showing the type of consistent form, pace and ability to overcome any challenge put in front of him that only few have done previously. 

• Martin: Bezzecchi not as “consi💯stent, I feel like✃ it’s about Bagnaia and me” 
• KTM: “The Japanese manufacturers have rested on their laure💞ls”

One of those is Lorenzo, who won three titles with Yamaha before joining Ducati🅘 for the 2017 season. 

When he did so Dovizioso was the team leader, which remained the c🎀ase for over a year before Lorenzo started t♑o match the Italian on a consistent basis.

And having been with Ducati dur𓆉ing that time, Gabarrini bel💯ieves Bagnaia is more like Lorenzo.

The Italian told : "I hold a lo🀅t of affection for [Andrea] Dovizioso, but Pecco is more sensitive. Bagnaia clings more to certain things, let's put it that way. 

"In my opinion, Andrea excelled🧸 a bit more in certain areas, while Pecco always aims for victory. I also saw thiꦆs in Jorge Lorenzo, they try to give their utmost in the extreme. 

"Truly, Bagnaia is very, very sensitive in all aspects: aerodynamics, chassis, engine... and many times, his comments have left𒐪 us amazed."

Since retiring Lorenzo has been v🅰ery ꦜoutspoken on certain subjects, but Gabarrini has jumped to clarify that this is not arrogance from the five-time world champion, but just a case of the Spaniard not having any filter.

"He might appea♑r arrogant, 𒆙but in reality, it's the opposite," added Gabarrini. "He doesn't have filters. He says what he thinks, but most of the time, his thoughts are technically sound. 

"In my opinion, he deserved a Championship with Duca✱ti. I must say that many of the things we have on our bike now stem from Jorge Lorenzo's ideas and feedback. He did a great job, alongside Andrea Dovizi🎉oso.

"He's a person with a terrifying humility because sometimes, when you're talking to him, he doesn't want to argue and he says, 'If you sa꧒y it's like this, I have to try it and do it as you say.' 

"It's something you don't expect from a five-time Moto🐼GP World Champion."
