Francesco Bagnaia will be eager to climb to the top of the 2024 MotoGP Riders' standings by winning the
Emilia Romagna MotoGP.
Most recent race
The Ducati Lenovo Team rider secured a podium spot at the San Marino and Rimini Riviera MotoGP on 8 September, the most recent event on the 2024 MotoGP calendar.
Bagnaia started on the first grid, but he slipped up which saw him finish second and he accumulated 20 points from the enthralling race.
MotoGP title ambitions
The Turin-born sportsman is still placed second in the 2024 MotoGP Riders' standings having collected 305 points from 13 races.
Bagnaia is now six points behind the leader Jorge Martin of Ducati Prima Pramac Racing as the duo battle it out for the MotoGP world championship.
Why Bagnaia could win the 2024 Emilia Romagna MotoGP
The 27-year-old tends to perform well at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli as he won the San Marino and Rimini Riviera MotoGP twice at the same circuit.
Having finished second at the recent 2024 San Marino and Rimini Riviera MotoGP, Bagnaia will be determined to go one step further and win this weekend's race.
What did he say?
"I’m very proud of what we did. It was not critical like last year but I think the arms and the shoulders are more tricky when you feel pain there than the legs," Bagnaia said after the 2024 San Marino and Rimini Riviera MotoGP.
“With the legs, you can manage it using the arms more. But you can’t use your legs to be fast like you use your arms. So, it was a bit more difficult riding. “I was able to ride like I wanted, but it hurt in the last part of the race.
"It doesn’t taste like a victory, because it’s not a victory, but it tastes good. “Yesterday I was angry because I had the chance to win and I didn’t take it. Today I did the maximum and I didn’t win. So, more than that was difficult.”
