Ducati, Pecco Bagnaia doesn’t let it get him down and makes an'admission
Even the third weekend of the season started decidedly uphill for Pecco Bagnaia, who took off the pass for Q2 in the pre-qualifying session in Austin mocking Fabio Quartararo by just 120 thousandths. Speaking to the microphones of “Sky Sport MotoGp”, the Ducati centaur bluntly analyzed his tenth place.
“The conditions were not the best. I chose to still go with the soft tire on the front, but I couldn’t take advantage of the situation at all. However, I am in the ten, so all in all it” began the centaur from Piedmont.
“I struggled a little bit’ only in Turn 1, but otherwise it went very well. I take pretty much all the gap in the first two sectors, which is where you have to take advantage of the soft d’forward and I couldn’t do that. It’s a shame, but the goal was to be in the ten and the feeling with the bike is good” continued the Ducati rider.
“I had a lot of margin, but with the soft tire I felt I was struggling on corner entry, so I preferred not to risk too much. I already looked at the data of those who could exploit it well like Marc, and I was losing a life in all phases of entry. Overall, I did not take unnecessary risks, because the’important thing was to stay in the ten and we succeeded” added the number 63.
“I feel good, comfortable. I know how much I pushed and how much the others did, so I am quite calm. We are working and I think we are now in the right direction. I definitely feel better than the last two GPs. I know my potential and I know where I can go. Even the others know that these results are not my best, so I don’t need to put extra pressure on myself” concluded Pecco Bagnaia.

“It doesn’t seem real to me. It’s amazing to have this trophy in my hands, I”m so excited. Smiling and incredulous stands Jasmine Paolini with the Cup in her hand savoring her triumph at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia. First Italian player able to impose herself in the home tournament thanks to a two-set victory over the American Coco Gauff. “Congratulations to you Coco for this final, keep it up you and your team, good luck for the coming weeks”.
With the protocol over, room for thanks. And there’s for everyone: “A thank you to my team and my family, my friends who always support me, it’s thanks to them that we have this cup in our hands today. Thank you to those who organized this tournament, to Fitp who always support us, the volunteers, the referees, the ball catchers, the public who have been special, the doctors, Dr. Parra who always supports me, they are always with us, it is a behind-the-scenes job that really weighs a lot”.
And then it is just and still emotion. Overwhelming, that you cannot say or describe but only savor. Smiling, as always, without forgetting where you started from and the’last step that is still missing to make this edition of the Internazionali BNL d’Italia truly unforgettable: “I do not know what else to say, it is a dream to be here. I came as a child to watch this tournament and to think one day that I could lift this cup was not even in my dreams. Thank you for supporting President Mattarella, at the end of last year we went to the Quirinal and this time we managed to bring him to the Foro Italico. It has been a dream two weeks, it is not over yet, tomorrow we have the doubles, I am not forgetting, we have to stay focused and I hope you will come a little bit earlier to see the doubles final because we need you”.
Beforehand, however, it was Coco Gauff, beaten but not defeated, who paid tribute to her for her success: “I am happy to have made it to the final in Rome and I am happy for you Jas for your victory – began the former US Open champion – You are a wonderful person. It’s always tough to face you and I hope you can bring home the trophy tomorrow in doubles as well. I will bring home this cup and I know how much work we have done to get it. It will be for next time”.

Charles Leclerc is furious after Imola qualifying: “The first thing to do is to apologize to the fans, it hurts the team as well. Such a level of performance is not acceptable and we have to react”.
“Aston Martin was smart with the tires. We can flip the tires, put the front tires in the back and the back tires in the front, but the car doesn’t go enough. I have been saying this for a while’there is no potential in the car”.
He was echoed by Lewis Hamilton: “I am devastated, we worked so hard for this my first race in Italy with Ferrari. The car was going, I thought we would be there. But we couldn’t pass and we have to analyze why everyone improved and we didn’t. I do not have an answer at the moment”.
“The setup wasn’t perfect, but we couldn’t go any faster than that. We mounted the new tire, but for some reason it didn’t go and had no life left in it. We struggle to use the tires, I in my lap I don”t think I did anything wrong.

In the final, with President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella in the stands,- the 29-year-old from Bagni di Lucca, No. 5 in the ranking and No. 6 in the seeding, defeated 6-4 6-2, in an hour and 29 minutes of play, the U.S. Coco Gauff, No. 3 WTA and fourth seed.
The U.S. was ahead 2-1 in the balance of direct confrontations with Jasmine, who, however, had won the very last one, played in the quarters on Stuttgart indoor clay last month.
