Victim of a terrible crash last Sunday in Barcelona, the Italian Ducati rider is determined to get back on his bike in San Marino.
Francesco Bagnaia wants to get back into action quickly. Last Sunday on the Barcelona circuit, the Italian Ducati rider suffered a spectacular accident, having his leg rolled by Brad Binder. Released from the hospital on crutches but without serious injury, the leader of the Moto GP championship intends to resume racing as soon as possible, starting next weekend at the San Marino Grand Prix.
«I will have the medical on Thursday at the circuit and if, as I hope, the doctors give me the green light, I will be on the track on Friday for the first free practice session, did he declare. The San Marino GP is obviously a special race for me, as an Italian and a Ducati rider. I will do my best to be at the start on Saturday and Sunday.”
With 50 points ahead of Spaniard Jorge Martin, the 2022 world champion is still leading the way this season. It remains to be seen whether he will be able to defend his chances on Friday during free practice. Bagnaia is, in any case, more motivated than ever.
