Bagnaia felt the 33-degree heat combined with 68% humidity and physical nature of the track meant conditions were more extreme than anything experienced in Thailand or Mala🤪ysia.
“Nev꧃er!” Bagnaia told MotoGP.com, when asked if he had ever known conditions as hot as this.
“I thought Malaysia and Thailand was already too much, but here it’s very, very demanding. You feel that you're burning, in som🌜e parts of ♐the track. On the back straight it’s incredible.”
