Bagnaia Acknowledges Marc Marquez’s Mastery with Ducati in 2025 MotoGP

Francesco Bagnaia acknowledges that his Ducati Lenovo teammate — Marc Marquez — has become the most capable rider on the Desmosedici GP25 motorcycle.

The Spanish rider has shown remarkable dominance — winning nine Sprints and seven main races from 10 rounds held this season.

Marquez’s latest success came at the Dutch MotoGP — managing to sweep all victories during the race weekend.

“It’s true that this time I felt my speed was strongest during the weekend, along with Marco (Bezzecchi). However, I finished the race in the same position as usual, so in reality I’m struggling,” stated Bagnaia.

“I fought there and felt I could compete during the first lap, but then there was a slight performance drop that ultimately cost me in the middle of the race,” he added.
