Il m𓂃ondo Elemental ha un nuovo amico: Pecco, con un cameo di doppiaggio
His character is🌟 a cloud - much like Bagnaia’s fan clu🅷b is the Red Cloud (Nuvola Rossa).
"When you'🅠re the MotoGP Red Cloud, you can't help but lend your voice... to a cloud!"
The greater significance is that this ꦇrepresents a major step forward for Bagnaia - and any current MotoGP rider - to crosso🅷ver into mainstream culture.
The reigning MotoGP champion and factory Ducati rider has become one of the most recognisable🎉 sporting personalities in Italy.
And next week he will return at the Italian MotoGP, hoping to be at൲ fully fitness despite suffering a fractured ankle last 🦂time out in Le Mans.
He has a one-point♔ lead at the top of the MotoGP standings ahead of Marco 🃏Bezzecchi so any physical frailties could cost him his advantage.
