JAKARTA - Ducati's Francesco Bagnaia failed to show his best performance during his first free practice (FP1) at the Australian MotoGP due to insect disturbances.

In Friday, October 20 afternoon WIB practice at the Philip Island Circuit, Pecco, his nickname, was only able to finish in 11th position. Bagnaia's appearance was doubtful because he was seen several times in and out of the garage.

Bagnaia suspected this to communicate with the crew in order to get the best performance in riding his motorbike.

Towards the end of the Australian MotoGP FP1 session, Bagnaia was again seen closing into Ducati's garage, but this time he did not get off the motorbike.

Quoted from the MotoGP upload on X, Bagnaia appeared to ask the crew and technicians to repair his motorbike. The Ducati crew was seen busy repairing something on the dashboard of the Desmosedici GP23 motorbike which was ridden by the rider.

At the same time the camera highlighted the part of the handbrake that was being handled. But instead of having a motorcycle with problems in that part, it turned out that Bagnaia asked the team to clean up the part because of the splashes from the large insects.

The video also shows that there is no special tool that Ducati's mechanics brings when helping Bagnaia. They only use tissue to clean the handbrake lever, also wipe the palm of the gloves Bagnaia uses.

"Maybe it's a little problem for @PeccoBagnaia? The team just cleaned the gloves and the lever," wrote the @MotoGP account.

The fact is that this is because Pecco is firing a somewhat large insect at the brakes lever! There is no problem with brakes, it only takes fast work to clean insects! continued the account providing additional information about what happened.

Before Bagnaia, who was disturbed by insects while paving, the Moto2 race was also stopped because there were several Australian endemic birds that walked casually across the track.
