After an unforgettable Sunday in Jerez, Bagnaia is ready to tackle the French GP. In Spain he returned to victory on Sunday, getting the better of Marc Marquez after an exciting head-to-head. Not only that, thanks to Martin's mistake, he made up for the Pramac rider in the championship and now there are only 17 points separating them. Le Mans is a friendly circuit for Ducati in recent years: Petrucci won there in 2020, Miller in 2021, Bastianini in 2022 and Bezzecchi in 2023.
Last year, Pecco had not seen the checkered flag and hopes to make up for it. "After the last race weekend in Jerez and the test, I arrive in Le Mans quite confident - said the world champion - There are all the prerequisites to be fast right away . We have always been competitive in France and even last year in the race we had a good pace and were fighting for the win. Unfortunately, I was unlucky and had to retire due to a crash after being hit by another rider. The only big unknown, as always, will be the weather but, in any case, we will work to be ready to face any condition."
Bastianini also wants to take advantage of the friendly track to conclude the path of growth started this season.
"I'm happy to return to Le Mans where I couldn't race last year due to injury. It's definitely a friendly track since I managed to get a win in 2022 - Enea's words - After the Jerez test I came back home happy and satisfied: I'm confident that what we tried can help us both here and in the next races. I can't wait to get out on the track with the goal of getting back to fighting for the podium. "
