Bagnaia had started the three-week MotoGP break in the best possible way. At Mugello he had achieved a double, winning both the Sprint and the GP, and making up precious points on Martin (now 18 distant). Now another friendly track awaits him because Pecco is the winner of the last two editions of the TT Assen and knows he has another chance to get more important results for the championship.
"After Mugello, having three weeks off to recover was good," Bagnaia says, "I rested a bit, but above all I continued to train, riding around the track with my Panigale V4S and then participating in a Monster Energy event at Silverstone with other riders."
"Now, however, it's back to serious business, and I'm happy to resume the season from Assen, one of my favourite tracks that I also have tattooed on my arm - in memory of his first career victory obtained in 2016 in Moto3 - In the last GPs we have worked well and my feeling with the Desmosedici has been very good; I am coming from two consecutive wins, three if we also count the Mugello Sprint, so for sure, there are the conditions to continue to do well. Hopefully the weather will be good and allow us to work consistently since the first Friday session but in any case, I am ready to face the weekend in any condition."
Also for Enea Bastianini the Italian GP was positive and on Sunday he celebrated a 2nd place on the podium. Now it is necessary to continue along that line.
"This long break was needed, but now I really want to get back on track - says the Rimini native - After the good result in my home race in Italy, I arrive in Holland motivated and charged: I had never managed to get on the podium at Mugello in the past and having succeeded this year, although I'm still missing something, gives me hope for the next races. Compared to the past, I have been more consistent this year: we are working well and race after race we continue to grow. So we are close to finding that explosiveness that we still lack, although a step forward has been made. We will work hard from the first session on Friday to be able to fight for the top positions."
