The off-air Bagnaia-Di Giannantonio
The video in which Pecco Bagnaia confided in Fabio Di Giannantonio quickly went viral on social media, greatly annoying the two-time Ducati world champion.
Bagnaia rebuked Dazn Spain, stating that the statements had been broadcast “out of context” and that the video was not complete. But not only that, as he attacked the ethics of the Spaniards, labeling the act of spreading the footage as “disrespectful.”

Sky Italia called on Ducati’s sporting director, Mauro Grassilli, who wanted to put an end to the controversy and emphasize that on Wednesday there was a clarifying meeting between the parties.
“We listened to him. As mature people, we met with Pecco, we talked about it last night at dinner, in a fairly calm, relaxed situation,” said the Italian manager.

In short, no lingering issues at Ducati: “We have clarified. Naturally, everyone is sorry. Pecco also said it today: he did not mean what came out on camera. He said what he thought, we agree with him. We work, we are working and we will work until Valencia to try to give Pecco what he needs. We are professionals and so is he,” concluded Grassilli.
