MotoGP, Bagnaia aims for a 5th win in a row: 'I want to pick up where we left off'

The vacations are over and at Silverstone the MotoGP riders will jump back into the fray (sporting unprecedented vintage liveries to celebrate 75 years of MotoGP). Bagnaia - who took advantage of the summer break to get married to Domizia Castagnini - will arrive in England as the world championship leader. Not only that, the world champion has won the last four GPs and has every intention of extending the positive series on the British circuit.

“Our vacation ended earlier than the other riders. Last week, we were in Misano for the World Ducati Week, and we were able to challenge ourselves with the new Panigale V4 S. It was a nice opportunity to get reacquainted with the track, but especially to meet all our fans from all over the world - said Pecco - After the Lenovo Race of Champions, now it's back to serious business! During this break, I also rested, and now I am ready to face this second part of the season, which will surely be very intense and challenging. I can't wait for Friday to pick up where we left off.”

Enea Bastianini also took advantage of the break to recharge his batteries and face the second part of the season, hoping to improve his 4th position in the standings.

“These three weeks of break were needed, but now I really want to get back on track to start this second part of the season - were the words of the rider from Rimini - In the first nine races of this Championship, we have managed to grow steadily. The next few weeks will be very intense, but we will also race on tracks where I usually do well. Now, however, we must focus on Silverstone. We will give it our all as always, and I can't wait to take to the track with the special fairing for the 75th Anniversary of the Championship.”
