Endless crisis
There could not have been a worse Sunday for the Misano audience, who have Marco Bezzecchi and Francesco Bagnaia as their main idols. After the disastrous crash of the Aprilia rider during the first lap of the race, the tricolor fans also had to endure the fall of the three-time world champion. Bagnaia’s ‘zero’, unfortunately for him, was definitely more predictable than that of his friend and future teammate, given the total crisis period that #63 is going through.

Bagnaia flew to the ground while he was in the back, falling after six laps in the first area of the circuit, immediately after the main straight. It was the umpteenth seasonal mistake for the Chivasso rider, who is certainly ending his long adventure on the Ducati in the worst possible way.

What happened today was Bagnaia’s fourth retirement on Sunday in the last five GPs. An extremely worrying trend ahead of the last eight races of this very long season.
