JAKARTA - Yamaha Motor Racing Managing Director, Lin Jarvis, praised Francesco Bagnaia, who came out as the 2022 MotoGP world champion. He could not deny that the Italian rider deserved it.
Bagnaia's performance was extraordinary, especially in the second half of the 2022 season. After having experienced a difficult start, Valentino Rossi's student got up.
In the first half, Bagnaia only got on the podium twice, namely when he won at the Jerez Circuit in Spain and the Mugello Italia Circuit. The rest is no better than the top five.
While in the second half, Bagnaia took the podium eight times. Five of them are the victory podium. Amazingly, he recorded four consecutive wins.
"I want to praise Pecco because for anyone, being a world champion is never easy, so it doesn't matter what device you have it's never easy," Jarvis said on Yamaha's official website.
"And again he won seven races this season, so we have to admit his skills and capacities," he continued.
Jarvis also gave credit to Ducati. According to him, the Italian manufacturer has created a very strong motorbike.
Evidently, the riders who used Ducati Desmosedici performed outstandingly. As a result, Ducati managed to win the constructors' title and also the team.
"Cleaning a three crown is not easy. That means the level of competition we are in is very serious, and they have eight riders on the grid," said Jarvis.
"That means if you face eight riders with that kind of bike and you're short of speed or having a hard time, you won't finish second or third, but maybe seventh or eighth."
"This is the problem. So it's quite difficult to try to fight with the entire red squad this year," he said again.
