MotoGP's Francesco Bagnaia crashed out of the British Grand Prix and admitted he has felt no grip on his Ducati all season. Starting 16th, he had climbed to 14th before crashing at Turn 7 on lap 8. He now sits eighth in the standings, 20 points behind seventh-placed Pedro Acosta.
Bagnaia saying 'even looking at the data, it's hard to understand' carries real weight. Zero grip basically means racing without any feel coming through your fingertips at all. Crashing right after climbing from 16th to 14th, now sitting 8th and 20 points back, is a brutally costly one for a supposed Ducati title contender.

Where exactly is Turn 7 on that track?
At Silverstone that's one of the fast corners in the middle sector I think
A champion saying that openly shows how cornered he really feels
20 points back is still recoverable at this stage of the season
Zero grip just sounds like an excuse to me honestly
But it's weird that Acosta's fine on basically the same bike
