Ahead of Dutch MotoGP: Bagnaia still wrestling with Ducati GP25 technical issues

Francesco Bagnaia faces a tough test at the 2025 Dutch MotoGP — the Italian rider has yet to find solutions for his Ducati Desmosedici GP25 technical issues ahead of the race at Assen Circuit.

Despite holding three consecutive defending champion titles at the “Cathedral of Speed” — including last year’s double victory in sprint race and main race — Bagnaia now faces a different situation after failing to reach podium at Italian GP last week.

The main issue facing this three-time world champion lies in lack of harmony with GP25 — unlike the better adaptation shown by Marc Marquez and Fabio Di Giannantonio. Technical complaints regarding brakes and tires remain the main focus.

Jorge Lorenzo, former rider and five-time MotoGP world champion, offers an understanding perspective on the difficult situation currently faced by Nuvola Rossa.
