Pecco Bagnaia has recently been busy, not on the bike but in front of the cameras. The Ducati rider was in fact a guest of Alessandro Cattelan in his program "Stasera c’è Cattelan", broadcast on Rai 2 (HERE you can see the full episode). It was moment of fun (against the singer Manuel Agnelli he played a new game format: OK… The Pecco is Right) but also to talk about his season in MotoGP, where Bagnaia is the protagonist of an exciting head-to-head duel against Quartararo.
Two points separate them: "It is as if we had to restart a three-race world championship - underlined the Ducati rider - but the most important thing is that there is respect between us. We have known each other for many years. Fabio has managed to be very consistent this year, even though I think his bike is inferior to ours. So he has been very good ”.
Pecco also replied to Cattelan who asked him in which era he would have liked to race: "in the late ‘90s or early 2000s, because there were no social media networks and everything was easier" he joked, in a moment in which everyone on the network is going wild over team orders by Ducati, presumed or otherwise.
Finally, he talked about Valentino Rossi, his friend and mentor.
"I would have liked to go up against him on the track," he said. Moreover, the Doctor was the last Italian champion in MotoGP, in 2009.
"He was so much bigger than the others that he is out of the running, no one will ever be like him - said Bagnaia - From that point of view there is less pressure, but it is also true that no Italian rider has won the title in MotoGP for many years, you feel this thing more with social media ".
