Pecco Bagnaia is digesting losing his MotoGP crown at the hands of Jorge Martin three weeks ago at the Barcelona Solidarity GP. Despite being the driver with the most wins in GP races, 11, including 7 in Sprint – equal to Martín – errors in the form of zeros in the race – 5 in Sprint and 3 in GP races – condemned the his third consecutive crown for 10 points. Since the test in Montmeló, Bagnaia has recovered 63 for his bike, giving up the number 1 that has characterized him in the last two campaigns.
In it ‘Champions in Festa’ of Ducati at the Bologna Fair Bagnaia took stock of the campaign: “Winning is not the most important thing. We have come a lot, always top three every time we finish, except for Austin, and that in my opinion is a good result. The fall, and the various misfortunes we have had, certainly did not help, but in some situations, I think, the defeat serves as a lesson and we certainly know what to do to avoid it happening again. make a mistake,” said the Turin native.
“Sometimes defeat helps in another aspect, because if I had won the title I certainly wouldn’t have shown the sportsmanship that Ducati has always had in this world and for which we have been criticized for the last three years. In bad things you have to always see the good.”
On June 5, it was made official Marc Márquez will be his next Ducati Lenovo partner for 2025 and 2026. They have debuted in the recent test at Montmeló and both describe their first GP25 contact as “positive”: “Having the same feeling as Marc in many things is positive, because we have identified the aspects to work on quickly. , those who do better and those who do worse so it’s a bit easier for engineers to identify the path to take to get to Malaysia more prepared.
So far, both have been cautious in their statements about the dynamics inside the box and whether there will be a number 1 and a number 2
“I believe that number one’s in boxing do not exist, and should not exist. The season always starts on equal terms, with drivers at the same level and with the same word. If during the season one driver is ahead in the championship and the other is further away, I think we have to work to try to help the other one at the front. But overall, I think Ducati’s approach has always been right and fair to its riders. I think Marc, as a very intelligent person, will immediately understand the environment and our way of working.
