Just a week ago, Pecco Bagnaia pulled off an incredible comeback, going from thirteenth to win the Indonesian Grand Prix. Now, they’re ready for the famous Phillip Island track, just an hour from Melbourne.
Bagnaia, the reigning World Champion, leads the Championship with an 18-point advantage over his closest rival, Jorge Martín from Pramac Racing Team.
It’s worth mentioning that at this same track last year, Pecco achieved something special. He secured third place in Australia, making an impressive turnaround from being 91 points behind Quartararo in the standings just a few months earlier.
This remarkable resurgence strengthened his claim to the World Title with only two Grand Prix races left in the season.
Enea Bastianini had a good time in Indonesia last weekend, despite his recent injury, and he’s eager to feel that way again riding his Desmosedici GP.
Francesco Bagnaia, leading with 346 points for the Ducati Lenovo Team, is excited about the challenge in Australia. He said, “I’m thrilled to be back racing on this fast track. Last weekend, my team did a fantastic job, even though I had a tough start. So, I’m ready for this weekend in Australia, despite the unpredictable weather and chilly temperatures.”
As the Ducati Lenovo Team embarks on this Australian adventure, the world looks forward to another exciting chapter in the 2023 MotoGP season.
