The Portuguese weekend of Francesco Bagnaia was slowed down by the crash during the qualifying session, in which he suffered a severe trauma to his right shoulder. The Piedmontese on Sunday morning then received the qualification from the doctors and thus found himself starting from the last position on the starting grid – twenty-fifth – of the Portimao circuit, for the fifth Grand Prix of the season. Pecco succeeded in what he was aiming for, that is to recover, and took home an excellent eighth place: “Our goal was to be able to finish eighth and we did, so we can be happy. It wasn’t easy, but both my team and Clinica Mobile did a great job, putting me in a position to compete. At the start I tried to feel comfortable, but it wasn’t easy. Then luckily I was able to find my pace and my feeling with the bike was incredible even though we had little time to test in the dry. I am satisfied with the result and now I will try to rest and recover as much as possible in view of Jerez“.
“I apologize to everyone”
He could double the Texas podium instead Jack Miller, but things did not go in the desired direction. The fourth-fastest Australian was in the positions that matter and in an attempt to overtake Joan Mir for third place, he lost control of his Ducati Desmosedici GP22. Miller said: “At the beginning of the race I tried to administer to try to save the tires until the end. I had a good pace and lap after lap my sensations improved. When the others started to suffer, I felt I had more of them: I approached Mir and when I thought I was close enough I tried to pass him inside. I hit the brake a little and maybe I ended up on a patch of wet (still present at Turn 1) and crashed, bringing him to the ground too. I am sorry and I apologize to both him and my team“.
