MotoGP championship leader Francesco Bagnaia “f****d up” by not considering the impact a changing fuel load had on his bike under braking during the Portuguese Grand Prix sprint.

Bagnaia was in a dominant position in Saturday’s 12-lap sprint having taken the lead at the end of lap two, before pulling out a gap of just over a second at one stage. But, while almost a second clear of the rest, Bagnaia outbraked himself into Turn 1 on lap nine and dropped to fourth, where he would remain to the chequered flag.

” Bagnaia added that the rear of the GP24 on braking “is a bit more nervous” than last year’s bike, but this doesn’t excuse him from not reacting to it as he should have. His error capped off a bad day for the factory Ducati team, after poleman and team-mate Enea Bastianini finished sixth after accidentally disengaging his front start device on the grid.
