Francesco Bagnaia calls 2024 MotoGP season “a championship of mistakes”
Ducati rider reflects on crucial sprint win

Francesco Bagnaia says the 2024 MotoGP season is “a championship of mistakes” after winni꧅ng the Indonesian Grand Prix sprint following points leader Jorge Martin’s crash.
The reigning double world chaܫmpion has registered seven DNFs in 2024, with the latest coming last weekend in the Emilia Romagna GP.
It left him trailing Martin by 24 points ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:the Mandalika sprint, though a crash for the Pramac rider out of the lead on lap on💯e allowed Bagnaia t💦o win the race and cut his deficit down to just 12.
Despite his sprint win, Bagnaia doesn’t want to dwell on its significan💛ce because of how quickly the championship picture keeps cha𒉰nging in 2024 - and offered a theory as to why this is.
“Until tomorrow afternoon I don’t want to say anything because it look🔯s like this season is a championship of mistakes,” Bagnaia told the media, including mahbx.com.
“I have an idea, w🐼hich has arrived from the performance of the tyres.
“The rear tyres have taken an enormous step in front, but we aꦫre braking so hard because the rear is also helping a lot i🦋n the braking.
“But the front has more issues because we are entering much faster in al༒l of the corners.
“So, the perforꩲmance that Michelin has improved this season is incrღedible.
“All the season🔯, all the circuits we improved the pace a lot. But when you are at this limit it is easy to have a crash. So, it’s super important for the championship but we have to be focused.”
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Martin refuted this theory when he spo༒ke to the media, and instead believes his crash had something to do with the asphalt at Turn 16.
Bagnaia’s sprint win comes after a difficult F🉐riday at Mandalika, in which he struggled to match the pace🍸 of Martin and Enea Bastianini.
However, he feels he has been able to take a step forward in improvi🍒ng his bike on Saturday and says he could have qualified better than fourth had it not꧒ been for yellow flags at the end of Q2.
“We know it was꧅n’t th𒊎e best weekend till the race, but we improved every session,” he said.
“But this morning we did a step, in the qualifying I understood somethin🧸g that I didn’t finalise because🍸 of the yellow flags.
“But I was knowing that my performance could have been good enou♑gh to fight fꩵor the win.
“And when I saw Jorge entering that corner, I said ‘if he closes that line, I will﷽ take four seconds’, because he was entering much, much, much faster an🥃d with a lot of lean angle.
“But today the conditions were very hot, 63 degrees on the asphalt, so I think for me it’s the worst every track we tried - the most strange, difficult conditions we ever tried during a weekend this seasonꦺ.
“So, it was🔥n’t easy to perf🥃orm there and when I saw the crash I started to be faster in the other three sectors but there I was very slow.
“So, I was controlling a bit, saying I have to push in t✱he first three to conꦇtrol in the last. And it worked. For tomorrow it will not work, but I’m happy for today.”
