After Francesco Bagnaia's long-awaited debut MotoGP victory at Aragon, proud mentor Valentino Rossi joked about trying to 'hypnotise' the Ducati rider not to take a🌺ny 'strange' ty🧜re choices for the race.

"I tried yester💞day to hypnotise him, saying 'hard-soft, hard-soft, hard-soft…' because📖 sometimes Pecco makes strange decisions with the tyres!" Rossi had said.

Unfortunately, it was a risky tyre choice that proved disasterous for Bagnaia's slim title hopes in Sunday's Misano race, leaving Rossi 'a littl🔜e bit angry'.

"I tried to make the same like in Aragon, I tri🎶ed to hypnotise Pecco to put 'mediওum-medium'. But this time it didn't work!" Rossi said.

Bagnaia and factory Ducati team-mate Jaཧck Miller were the only riders to chose the hard front tyre in the cool c🦂onditions.

Both went on to crash in carbon-c꧑opy front-end spills at Turn 15; Miller from second place early on, then title contender Bagnaia while leading with ♛four laps to go.

That meant a surprised Fabio Quartarar𒈔o was suddenly confirmed as world champion, with two rounds remaining.

Miller and Bagnaia admitted the hard front had been a gamble that didn't pay off, but insisted they had little choice168澳洲5最新开奖结果: after struggling with the medium 💙in practꦐice.

Rossi however felt Bagnaia had enough speed to😼 win with the medium front.

"Pecco did a fantastic season. I'm a little bit angry with him today because I think that if he put the medium front he can win, because he was faster. But this is just what I think," said the nin𒊎e time world champion.

"For me the hard front was too dangerous today and I tried to say to Pecco but at the end they put and the hard front is like this: Unfortunately, in the last part of the💎 race there was less sun, less temperat🐷ure and the hard front is like this.

"When the temperature goes too low, the tyre gives up and you crash without doing noth🍒ing.

"So it was a great shame because Pecco was the faster today and during the weeken🍃d. He can win, he can keep open the championship, that is anyway difficult, but to bring it into Portugal is🐓 important

"At the end it's a big shame. I raced with the medium front and the medium front was very good. Anyway, it's like this and I think Pecco, Franco and also Luca will be very♉ strong next year."

Turning to Quartararo, who replaced Rossi at the ﷺfactory Yamaha team this season and has now become Yamaha's first world champion since 2015, The Doctor said:

"Sinc👍erely I thought it was the right choice to have Quartararo in the Factory team. But maybe it was not a very good choice to not have me in the factory team!" he smiled.

"Anyway, Quartararo deserved the championship. He always rode very fast, never made any mistakes. So I think that he deserved the championship and I'm very happy♕ for him and a🃏lso for Yamaha."
