Bagnaia at Misano on Panigale V4 at 5 seconds from MotoGP pole and 2 from SBK

Pecco Bagnaia had took his last training session in Misano very seriously, judging by the numbers on the dashboard of his Panigale V4. In fact, he retouched his record on the track named after Marco Simoncelli, stopping the clock at 1'35"18. To understand how fast he was on this Ducati (by regulation, MotoGP riders aren't allowed to modify the bikes they use for training much), you have to look at the track records for the MotoGP and SBK.

Jorge Martin's premier class pole position last year was 1'30"390, while Alvaro Bautista's was 1'33"017 onthe SBK. Bagnaia was also amazed by his performance. "Honestly, that's impressive on a road bike."
