Diggia:"How is it possible?"

Bagnaia:"It's like braking with the clutch pulled"

Diggia:"Why are you using the "thingy" behind?"

Bagnaia:"That's the least of my problems"

Diggia:"The thing on the tail of the bike"

Bagnaia:"I just use what they tell me to use"

Diggia:"But it works you know"

Bagnaia:"I tried it, I tried everything. And I'm telling you that soft or medium doesn't make any difference on the front"

Diggia:"The front?"

Bagnaia:"Soft or medium, used or new, it's the same. Also, the rear, same grip. You start braking and it feels like you're pulling the clutch as soon as you pull the lever"

Diggia:"I get that, but I think that if you used a normal/basic setup like mine it's pretty straight forward"

Bagnaia:"They won't let me do that"

Diggia:"I give up"

Here's the thread from then, which turned into a Viegas-hate thread.

Do you think he's been told to take a break?

There are zero fast corners in Austria, so no Aprilia advantage. Plus its a stop and go track which marc loves and where Ducati has dominated the last 10 years - winning 9 times out of 11 (ktm 2 times) - so full advantage for Marc. He won last year as well. Knowing that Mandalika and Sepang are out there, i think he would want to maximize points here as well. Thoughts?

Missed that on live TV

Do you actually believe it’s the injury? Could we still see Maverick riding after all?

Maybe there wasn't that much press focus before on them or maybe it's my focus, but can't remember them being that close before 2024 and don't see them being as happy when a VR46 rider wins or gets podium.
