Francesco Bagnaia topped Friday Practice for the Austrian MotoGP, and declared his bike “almost ready for the race”.
A Friday is historically not the best day of a race weekend for Francesco Bagnaia , but at this weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix the Italian was fastest of all on day one.
“I’m happy because I think we did the correct things all day, apart from one thing that was trying the hard front ,” Bagnaia told MotoGP.com at the close of Friday. “I decide to not go with the hard front because I saw many riders crashing with that tyre,” he said, referring to crashes for riders including Brad Binder, Pedro Acosta, and Aleix Espargaro.
The reigning champion also sought the advice of Enea Bastianini on the other side of the factory Ducati box on Friday afternoon. Bagnaia said that, although he stuck with the medium-compound front tyre, he wasn’t completely comfortable with it. “But with the medium I’m not so happy, not so confident on the left side, I just decided to go with the medium,” he said.“Honestly, everything is going well, I’m happy with the bike, happy with the feeling, the time attack went well, and we have something to improve for tomorrow, but the bike is almost ready for the race.
