"Assen is a special track for me because I got my first victory in the World Championship here.
I even got it tattooed on my arm! Unfortunately in 2021 we struggled a lot, but I am convinced that things will be different this year".
Francesco Bagnaia is in a hurry to forget the crash at Sachsenring and the opportunity immediately offers him the match in the Netherlands next Sunday.
"Even in Germany we weren't among the favorites, but in the end we were very competitive throughout the weekend. This is why I am even more disappointed with the crash in the race - the Ducati rider regretted - because up to that moment everything had been perfect. I want to make up for it here in Holland and end this first part of the season on a positive note, before the summer break. "
