Bagnaia Calls for Mandatory Testing After Brazil MotoGP Issues

Francesco Bagnaia wants MotoGP to make pre-event test sessions mandatory at new circuits, speaking ahead of the US Grand Prix at COTA. Brazil’s return after 22 years ended in chaos, with the race shortened by eight laps due to surface degradation at Goiânia.  Bagnaia pointed to Indonesia 2022 as proof that testing works, with tyre problems identified and fixed before race weekend.  He confirmed factory test riders would be sufficient, with Buenos Aires and Adelaide joining the calendar next season.
