The risk of sitting out the tournament due to an earlier conflict has not gone away. BagnayaHe suspects that any move to have just one race-ready bike will force him to change how he approaches his race weekend. Nowadays, the Italian can push the limit every time he is on the road because there is a safety net, but it is impossible without a spare bike.

“To be honest, I don’t agree with the new ideas,” Bagnaya said. Motorsport.com. “The only thing I think is correct is to start without the height adjustment devices.

“It would be weird to have just one bike.

“So, it’s weird that there are a few people in the garage. I don’t understand. But that’s the way it is, and luckily I’m not the one who has to make the decisions.”

“It changes the way I work a lot, because you can’t push as hard as you do now.

“It’s true, if you know you have two bikes, you push yourself to the limit. If you only have one, you know you’ll need it in a few hours for qualifying and the Sprint Race. And if you have a big crash, you won’t have the bike.”

You will have another one where you have not done a single round. So the way they approach MotoGP these days is a bit strange. We are taking big steps back in terms of what MotoGP is all about.

Pecco Bagnaia supports MotoGP’s ban on riding height devices for race starts

The only rule change that MotoGP is about to introduce now, and which Bagnaia agrees with, is a move to ban vehicle height devices at the start of the race. It is reported that MotoGP teams agree to ban ride-height equipment for race start. From the British Grand Prix in August.

Crunch’s comments on the issue followed Aprilia’s George Martin’s massive Turn 1 crash at the start of the Hungarian Grand Prix. MotoGP is basically a stop gap solution as part of new regulations on the horizon that will completely ban ride height devices next year.

“I think it’s a good thing to get rid of height adjustment devices,” he added. “Because Ducati equipment is a masterpiece, but if you look at other bikes, sometimes they have to do different things to break them.

“The front tools break in the first corner, so I think it’s good to remove them all for safety.”
