Bagnaia delighted after winning MotoGP bet

Francesco Bagnaia will get to try a Duc🎉ati Mo✱toGP bike at the Valencia test, as a reward for claiming his second Moto3 victory of the season.

Bagnaia's Aspar squad not only runs the official Mahindra Moto3 team, but has its own satellite Ducat🌟i team in the premier class.

"We made the bet early in the seas🥃on, in Argentina or Texas," Bagnaia revealed. "We were in the MotoGP garage, Jorge Mart?n and myself. I sat on Eugene Laverty's bike and I said to Mꦓart?n that I wanted to try it.

"Gino Borsoi was in the garage and he heard me, so he came over and set me the challenge that if I won two races this season I could ride the Ducati in the test a♋fter the Grand Prix at Valencia."

Bagnaia went on to make history for Mahindra with the Indian manufacturer's first ever grand prix win at As🦂sen, before the second victory last weekend at Sepang.

"It is something very important for me," he added of the MotoGP test. "Not every rider🦩 gets this opportunity so to have it is incred🧜ible. Before I didn't want to think too much about it because if it didn't happen I would have felt worse.

"But now that I have achieved it, I am daydreaming about it every day! The plಌan is to ride 🌠five or six laps on the Tuesday but I don't think I'll stop until it runs out of fuel!"

Bagnaia also sees the test as a perfect w♒ay to finish his Aspar-Mahindrꦅa career, before moving to Moto2 with VR46 in 2017.

"It has been two great years for me. The team have supported me a lot from the st🐬art. Jorge, Gino, my technical staff and the great relationship I have with my team-mate... being with the Aspar Team is like being wit💖h family."
