It had been eight months since Pecco Bagnaia had been so effective on the Ducati. A motorcycle that not so long ago dominated better than anyone else, a machine for crushing rivals and, especially, teammates. The three-time Italian champion and most successful driver from the Bologna factory screamed with joy this Saturday, his fist raised and his smile wide, with an unappealable victory in the sprint of the Czech Republic GP, where he surpassed the Aprilia of the Japanese Ai Ogura, for the first time poleman in MotoGP, and the Desmosedici of his garage partner and defender of the crown.
