January 15, 2023
I’m sorry Bagnaia was a guest on Sunday evening of Fabio Fazio in the broadcast What’s the weather like. The new MotoGP world champion spoke to the conductor about the future marriage with Domitia (to whom he asked to marry him on Christmas Eve), Valentino Rossi, his passion for motorcycles and the number he will use in 2023.
Finally, the Ducati MotoGP arrived in the studio, accompanied by the chief mechanic Mark Ventura it’s yes Simona Ventura, that we understood to be one of Pecco’s mother’s best childhood and adolescence friends.
The wedding with Domizia and the first date… on the pavé
Bagnaia was accompanied to the studio by his sister Carola, his mother and his girlfriend Domizia. Just yesterday Pecco turned 26 and he said he went to dinner two nights ago with pilot friends and last night with the friends of Chivasso.
Fazio then asked for the wedding date: “We are still in the planning stage – Pecco and Domizia explained -, then we can’t do it in July because Luca Marini is getting married and it’s still too close. But we wouldn’t want to do it in winter either. We’ll see “.
In short, the wedding date does not exist yet, so Fazio has turned on their love story by telling one new thing: at the first appointment Pecco arrived with the new, big car, and it is slipped on the cobblestones, taking a pole of the light!
“Did you ask Rossi to coach you?”
Before a celebratory video on the career of the Piedmontese rider, there was a surprise video by Valentino Rossi, from Dubai: “Enjoy yourself on the broadcast tonight, Fabio ask him lots of questions, Pecco is the first MotoGP world champion that comes from the Academy”.
“Is it true that you asked Valentino to follow you as a coach?” Fazio asked.
“Yes, but Vale has many commitments with cars, the little girl… though in every race of the second half of the season we spoke a lot on the phone. He told me to stay calm at all times and celebrate when it was time. Peacefulness and modesty are his main qualities.
“I was trying to touch my knee to the ground, with the motocross bike”
About how the passion for motorcycles was born: “My maternal grandfather gave me the first one, it had 3 wheels – said Pecco -, then at 5 he gave me a motocross minibike. I used to ride it in my grandfather’s garden and try to touch my knee to the ground: there they realized that speed was better“.
Fazio asked about the visit to Rome from Sergio Mattarella: Pecco explained to be was surprised from the technicality of the President of the Republic’s questions, taking for example the one made on the lowering device and its functioning.
What number on the hull in 2023?
On the Ducati: “When I signed the contract, I knew we’d get a great result.” Fazio also pressed Pecco about the number to be used on the hull in 2023: “I have decided than Tuesday at the photoshoot I will choose based on the momentI’ll have both 1 and 63 in my hand, I haven’t decided yet”
He actually then explained about have changed my mind: “On vacation I had chosen to keep 63but first I chose 1″.
After the question about the number, the GP22 arrived in the studio, brought by chief mechanic Marco Ventura it’s yes Simon Ventura: “I hope this bike comes to my house. I think that in 2023 the new bike will be an evolution and not a revolution like last year” concluded Pecco.
