MotoGP returns with the Italian Grand Prix on Pecco’s favorite circuit, where he wants to start his comeback against his Ducati teammate
There couldn’t be a better time to try and start a sensational comeback on teammate Marc Marquez, who leads the standings with a 93-point advantage over Pecco. Starting with Saturday’s race, the runner-up in last year’s world championship will be looking for a win to kick off the second half of the season. Let’s take a look at the predictions and odds for Bagnaia to win the Mugello Sprint Race, scheduled for Saturday, June 11, at 3 p.m.
BAGNAIA TO WIN MUGELLO ODDS— Bagnaia is betting everything on the Italian Grand Prix to reopen his season, which started badly and was revived by third place at the Aragon circuit in the previous round. The ninth round will be held at Mugello, the Ducati rider’s favorite track, where he has not yet found the right feeling with his bike, which has undergone some changes in recent weeks. Trailing his teammate Marc Marquez by 93 points, who leads with a 32-point advantage over his brother Alex (233 to 201), the world championship runner-up wants to send a message to his rivals by winning the Sprint Race, which he has won in the last two editions. In fact, Bagnaia has won five consecutive races at the Tuscan track and is now looking for his sixth. Pecco is listed at 4.50 on Goldbet and Snai, 4.20 on Planetwin365, and 3.00 on Sisal.
MARC MARQUEZ’S DELAY— The eight-time world champion has only won once at Mugello, eleven years ago (2014), which is already encouraging for Bagnaia, even though the Spaniard has dominated the season since joining Ducati. Marc will try to continue his long series of successes to secure the standings, especially from the attack of his teammate, who is a specialist on the track where the Italian Grand Prix will be held. For the bookies on the main betting sites, there is no doubt that the Spaniard is the big favorite in the Sprint Race as well: his odds are 1.72 on Sisal, 1.65 on Snai and Goldbet, and 1.60 on PlanetWin365. His brother Ale is also worth keeping an eye on, currently second in the MotoGP world rankings thanks to the performance of his Gresini team bike: odds of 4.50 on Goldbet, 4.38 on Snai, 4.30 on PlanetWin365, and 4.00 on Sisal.
