MotoGP <\/a>champion Bagnaia arrives at Jerez just ninth in the standings.<\/p>\n\u201cI know my potential very well, I know exactly where I can be,\u201d Bagnaia said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhenever I’ve had the chance, I’ve always been at the front, and the results speak for themselves.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’ve been struggling for two years: the DNA of the GP25 and GP26, which is the same, doesn’t allow me to express myself fully.<\/p>\n
\u201cI always ride very defensively and can’t fully trust the bike, and that doesn’t allow me to be fast.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlus, my strong point, which has always been braking and corner entry, I can’t exploit with this bike anymore.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’ve completely changed my braking system, and it’s something that limits me a lot. I just hope we can continue in the direction we’ve been in up until 2024, with a bike designed for that.<\/p>\n
\u201cRight now, there are other riders complaining about the same things, and I hope we can try something in this direction at the test.”<\/p>\n
