Francesco Bagnaia Sees Silverstone as Turning Point in MotoGP Season

Francesco Bagnaia is still confident about his chances in the MotoGP season, despite a recent dip in form. The Italian rider is currently eighth in the riders' championship, 65 points off leader Jorge Martin.

What happened?

Bagnaia spoke to Sky Italia about his expectations after the summer break, citing teammate Marc Marquez's recovery to title contention as inspiration. Marquez had earlier recorded four-straight podium finishes and a sprint victory, but then retired in the Netherlands before a disappointing sixth in Germany.

Why it matters for Francesco Bagnaia

Bagnaia believes that with the right support and work, he can solve his current problems and get back on track. He is using Marquez's form as motivation, saying that if his teammate can recover from a similar slump, he can do the same.

What comes next?

Bagnaia is planning to spend the summer break relaxing, training, and preparing himself to be 100 per cent ready for the next race. He is also undergoing surgery on his right forearm, which he hopes will help him regain his strength and speed.

The British Grand Prix is up next, and Bagnaia is confident that he will see the best 'Pecco' return. He has announced another upgrade - successful surgery on his right forearm - and is now beginning his rehabilitation schedule.

Ducati started the season as the second-fastest manufacturer, but Aprilia have led the way with both the factory squad and satellite outfit Trackhouse. Marco Bezzecchi has gone from leader and clear favourite to fourth in the standings, with even satellite rider Ai Ogura leapfrogging him into second.

Bagnaia still sees Bezzecchi as the fastest on the grid, and perhaps more encouragement that he can have a title tilt before joining him at Aprilia next season. He believes that the second half of the season will be more consistent, and that the team is working on improving their results.

The Italian rider is not giving up just yet, and is planning to spend the summer break quietly, relaxing, training, and preparing himself to be 100 per cent ready for the next race. He is confident that he will see the best 'Pecco' return in Silverstone.
