Most recent race
Bagnaia was in excellent form at the most recent race on the 2024 MotoGP calendar, which was the Italian MotoGP on 2 June.
The Ducati Lenovo Team rider won the race which saw him collect 25 points and this is despite Bagnaia having started on the fifth grid.
MotoGP title ambitions
The VR46 Riders Academy product is placed second on the MotoGP Riders' standings, having accumulated 153 points from seven races.
Bagnaia is 18 points behind leader Jorge Martin of Ducati Prima Pramac Racing ahead of the eagerly-anticipated Dutch TT.
Why Bagnaia could win the 2024 Dutch TT
The man nicknamed Pecco is in brilliant form at the moment, having won back-to-back races namely, the Catalan MotoGP and Italian MotoGP.
Having also won the last two Dutch TT races, Pecco is a clear favourite to win this weekend's race and boost his ambitions of successfully defending his MotoGP world title.
What did he say?
“It was an incredible race. It wasn’t easy as I was fifth on the grid, but the strategy of going for the outside line worked out perfectly, also due to Maverick (Viñales) running a little wide," Bagnaia said after the 2024 Italian MotoGP.
"I started dictating the pace from the get-go, but it was hard to manage the rear-end of the bike as the bike was moving a lot at the front, meaning I could only be effective for a couple of laps each time.
"In the end we were able to get the win in what was a fantastic weekend, with an incredible atmosphere coming from the crowd I love. To witness the sea of people below the podium was crazy. I’m also happy for Enea (Bastianini_ and for the great race he had. Thank you Mugello, you all were fantastic.”
