Francesco Bagnaia says rumours of him not wanting Marc Marquez as a team-mate are false.
Bagnaia had a response for Marquez on both occasions when the former Honda rider came through at turn nine, even though one of them resulted in contact and a near fall for both men.Bagnaia, who was taken out of the sprint race in Jerez, bounced back in the best possible way and with Jorge Martin crashing out of the grand prix, Bagnaia was able to recoup a lot of the lost points from Portimao.
About who he would prefer as team-mate between Marquez and Martin, the Italian said: “I have already answered this question. In these last days I saw a video on twitter of a Spanish journalist saying I don’t want Marc in the factory team but it is bull****. “In any case, if the team changes my team-mate then the work will start again, but my ambition is to be stronger.”
After losing more points to Martin in the sprint at Jerez, it would have been easy for Bagnaia to feel as though luck was against him.
