Optimistic, Ducati Boss Says Francesco Bagnaia Still Has A Chance To Win MotoGP 2022

JAKARTA - Ducati boss Davide Tardozzi said Francesco Bagnaia still had the chance to win the 2022 MotoGP at the end of the season.

Bagnaia failed to win points when appearing in the 2022 German MotoGP because he did not manage to finish because he fell on the track.

This situation makes Bagnaia pessimistic in his hunt for the 2022 season title. Moreover, his rival, Fabio Quartararo, is even more firmly perched at the top of the standings after winning the podium in MotoGP.

Bagnaia's situation is inversely proportional to that shown by Ducati as the team he is defending. Tardozzi said the opportunity for Bagnaia to become a champion was still wide open.

The boss said the team had to look at Pecco's failure at the Sachsenring Circuit from the other side. Although he also did not deny that Bagnaia's failure occurred because of his mistake during cornering.

"We have to think differently. Maybe the fact that Fabio had gained a few meters lead made Pecco maintain a slightly more sustainable corner speed and this was a mistake," Tardozzi told Tuttomotoriweb.

Furthermore, Tardozzi asked the team to keep Bagnaia even though the driver made a mistake in the last race series. Because it is not uncommon for teams to make mistakes, so that Bagnaia's performance is less than optimal.
