The Ducatis are making a big splash at Aragon too. In the first 10 places there are 6 of them, with Martin in front of everyone and Bagnaia in the middle, with the 5th quickest time. The ranking, however, today does not matter too much to Pecco because his thoughts are elsewhere. On the track.
"Today I didn't focus on fast laps, on making a perfect time attack - he explained - There was a lot to understand because the drop in tyres is enormous, I certainly have a lot of room for improvement for tomorrow. I'm trying to have a bike that brakes better and I think our ideas are good ”.
Many riders complained about the asphalt, but the man from Piedmont is bucking the trend.
“This asphalt is already 13 years old and for being so old the grip is not bad. But last week we were at Misano, where it is excellent. For sure they have to think about resurfacing it” was his opinion.
But they must also think about the race and especially Quartararo. The Frenchman seems to have found the key to the problem on a track where he usually struggles and his name is in second place in the timesheets.
"I too had never been strong on this track and last year I won - underlined Bagnaia - There is never a correlation with the past, we all know Fabio's potential. He will be in the race, but there will be many riders who will go fast. We will have to manage the tyres well, lap 3 or 4 tenths slower than the best pace which is exactly what happened last year. But I think we can keep the same pace from start to finish ".
Then it was impossible not to talk about Marquez today. Also because there are those who claim that his performance (8th less than 4 tenths from the first) diminishes the value of all the other riders.
"Everyone can have his point of view, I can agree or not, but here we are not all washouts - said Pecco - We are at the highest level and we work our asses off to be the fastest. We must not be surprised by what Marc has done, it is not the first time that he rides a motorcycle, he has always been very strong. A return like this was to be expected because he has always been the benchmark in recent years. It is right that there is a lot of enthusiasm behind this comeback, but I lived it as a normal day on his part. "
