@vj.vr.46: Kenny Roberts opened up about his visit to Valentino Rossi’s Ranch and explained why the low-grip surface didn’t suit his riding style. Kenny Roberts: “Valentino invited me to the Ranch, but I felt like a fish out of water. I prefer to maximize the tyre and use traction rather than simply sliding the bike.” Roberts also stressed that simply learning to slide isn’t enough. A rider must understand how to use the tyres and the entire motorcycle in different grip conditions. “High grip makes things more difficult because you have to make the bike do exactly what you want. That’s what separates the brave riders from the rest.” Pecco Bagnaia's Aragón weekend ended in frustration after another crash left him without a single point. The Ducati rider admits he is struggling to find answers as his confidence in the bike continues to disappear. 🗣️ “I think it’s one of the worst moments of my career, given that I don’t see a way out.” Bagnaia says the biggest problem remains rear grip. The tire was already badly worn after just a few laps, forcing him to reduce the bike's power. 🗣️ “I have absolutely no grip. Zero grip completely.” The Italian also explained that he is pushing himself to find a solution with Ducati, but the situation has become increasingly difficult, with crashes happening even when he isn't riding at the limit. 🗣️ “You push yourself to the limit, but you end up crashing when you’re even a second slower.” Bagnaia believes the problem became much worse after Silverstone. Despite trying different approaches, he still cannot reproduce the feeling he had earlier in the season. 🗣️ “Since Silverstone, something has happened, because I have absolutely no grip. None whatsoever.” The two-time MotoGP World Champion is now facing one of the toughest periods of his career, with Ducati needing to understand why he can no longer ride the bike naturally. 🗣️ “With the current bike, I can’t ride naturally, and that’s why I crash.” #PeccoBagnaia #MotoGP #KennyRoberts #ValentinoRossi #RossiRanch
