Misano more “complex”
A home race for Ducati, where the supporters of the official team from Borgo Panigale cheered twice in a row for Marquez’s wins, achieved in the last two years. But will the Spaniard achieve a hat-trick in this world championship? As confident as he is, the multiple world champion does not intend to make too optimistic predictions: “At Aragón we made a clean sweep and that was the goal. MotorLand is a track that suits my riding style very well. Here at Misano it will be a bit more complicated, but it is still a circuit where I can try to express myself at my best and push the Desmosedici GP to the maximum of its potential. Plus, there will be many Ducati fans, who can definitely give you that extra boost.”

The home race
Then there is the one who does not intend to give up after the Aragon weekend, which ended with a crash: Francesco Bagnaia. Coming off a disappointing weekend, the two-time world champion will want to take advantage of the warmth of his own fans to make up for it: “At Aragón we suffered, but it’s not like me to back down. So we immediately get back to work with the whole team on a really special track: my real home track, in front of all the Ducati fans. We do not give up and continue to push to be protagonists again. I am sure that the support and cheers of the fans will be able to give me, as in the past, that little something extra.”
