MotoGp, Inter will win the Champions League for the riders

SHOES — It will be that during the weekend we run in Tuscany, al Mugellobut according to the pilots of the MotoGP will be theInter to win the Champions League final (which will be broadcast live on the maxi-screens of the circuit on Saturday evening). Bagnaiathe Ducati world champion, bets that the Nerazzurri will prevail with a score of 2 to 1. The same result for his teammate Bastianini and for another jewel of Borgo Panigale, Bezzecchiwhich runs with Vr46. Marc Marquezthe 8-time Honda world champion, proudly remembers that he is a culé, a Catalan fan of Barcelona very close to Pep Guardiolacoach of the English: success at City for 3 to 1. Quartararo Said el Diablo agrees perfectly with the Cannibal. Even the Yamaha champion predicts the scorers: brace by Haaland more Grealishthe Milanese network will be of Lautaro. Also Vinales, Aprilia man, says 3 to 1 for Manchester. It makes the difference Martin, a Ducati fan of the Pramac team who however begins: “I don’t understand anything about football. In my opinion it ends 9 to 8 for Inter”. On penalties, presumably. The eighth driver brought up, the South African Binder of Ktm, takes refuge behind a solo 3 to 3. Who will be right?

Bastianini’s return: “The shoulder is ok”

On the other hand, no one makes predictions about the weekend on the Italian track, which celebrates the return of Aeneas Bastianini: the beast. Crashed in the debut sprint race in Portugal after a slip of Marines, the Rimini rider had fractured his right scapula failing a first attempt to return to Texas: he lost the first 5 GPs of the season and in all probability said goodbye to his hopes of world victory: “The shoulder is now in place”, he says. “I have to reset, regain confidence with my bike. I only did one test, two weeks ago, and in the end I felt a little tired. But I’ve worked a lot in the last week: I hope to be competitive on Saturday, and Sunday we will grit our teeth”. His teammate Bagnaia is also back after breaking his right ankle sustained at Le Mans in the accident with Vinales: he still wears a cast, he limps but he says there won’t be any problems driving the GP23. “I trained without any problems. This is too important a race, we have to do well and get back to scoring points in the standings”. The Turinese has a point lead over the happy surprise of this first part of the championship, Bezzecchi, who celebrated his second triumph in France. “And I cut off my mustache, for a bet,” he explains. “Mugello is a fantastic circuit, let’s hope there’s a lot of spectators and we can get on the podium again. The Ducati treats me very well, let’s hope next year in an official team”.

Ambitious Marquez: “The goal is to stay ahead”

Another finished upside down in the last French race is Marc Marquez: “I took a lot of risks at Le Mans but I had fun. I feel like I’m in a good moment, but here at Mugello usually my limits and those of Honda are highlighted. We suffer a bit. The goal is still to stay in front and keep fighting”. Quartararo says he is optimistic, despite the modest results in the spring astride the M1: “We are missing something in the corners, which has been our strong point in recent years: we have to pay a lot for this situation. But we have more power, let’s hope we can fix it. It will be a tough weekend: Mugello and Assen, together with Texas, are the most physically demanding races. Let’s stay focused, the goal is to make up for the ground lost at the start of the season.”
