"I did everything in the norm in anticipation of this GP, even if in the end there is a bit of agitation and pressure: it could be my first title in this class, and it could be the second riders title for Ducati after 15 years, so there is a bit of tension in the air, but I'm living it very well, I feel I have to do my job and I feel I can do it well ".
Francesco 'Pecco' Bagnaia said this, speaking to Sky Sport, in view of the Malaysian GP that can give him the world title in the motogp.
"Anyway, there is no rush, there is this race to win the World Championship, but there is also Valencia: if it were possible to win the title here in Sepang well, otherwise there is another race available - he added. - We don't have to close here, although of course it would be nice to arrive more serene at the last appointment of the year. The people I wanted here with me in Sepang are there, I know my team will do a great job, I know we have the chance to do well, our potential is always high, this is a track where we can do well. "
"I mainly think about having a normal weekend, as it should be, trying to be fast right away - he concluded - because the conditions here are a bit particular, between rain, dry, wet, heat ... I want to be very competitive for the race, this is one of my favorite tracks. "
Bagnaia is also considered the favorite for the victory by bookmakers: Sisal experts, in fact, see a success of 'Pecco' at 3.50.
Second in Australia last Sunday, Marc Márquez is determined to aim for the top step of the podium.
The Honda Spaniard is returning to his own levels and dreams of winning the first race of the season, an undertaking at an altitude of 5.00.
The podium of the favorites is completed by Fabio Quartararo, Yamaha, and Jack Miller, in the penultimate race on the Ducati.
