Il mond💎o Elemental ha un nuovo amico: Pecco, con un cameo di doppiaggꦇio
His character is a cloud - much like Bagnaia’s fan club is the R🦄ed Cloud (Nuvola Rossa).
"W💯hen you're the MotoGP Red Cloud, you can't help but l꧅end your voice... to a cloud!"
The greater significance is that this represents a major step forward for Bagnaia - and any current🐷 MotoGP rider - to ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚcrossover into mainstream culture.
The re🥀igning 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 a꧃t 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 fra꧒ilties could cost him his advantage.
