Well, World Champion Francesco Bagnaia believes his Ducati Lenovo Team machine was “too stable” at the Circuit of the Americas, and that’s what led to him crashing out of the lead and throwing away a valuable 25 points. And then in the race when I was in total control, I crashed. So I’m very angry, not with myself, because I’m 100% sure that wasn’t my fault today. We have the best bike in the grid, but then if you crash and you don’t know why, it’s useless because we lost 45 points in two weekends. So we have to understand that we have [to] maybe prefer a more unstable bike. But if you crash and lose 45 points in the last two weekends then something is not perfect. “I’m giving a lot of confidence on my bike but it’s too stable maybe.
