Bagnaia Faces Adaptation Challenges with Ducati Bike This Season

Bagnaia Faces Adaptation Challenges with Ducati Bike This Season

Francesco Bagnaia is facing significant challenges with the Ducati Desmosedici GP25 motorcycle — particularly with the front end that affects his racing performance this season.

Valentino Rossi‘s protégé has experienced inconsistent results as evidenced by his pointless runs in two consecutive series at French and British GPs. Despite securing a podium at Aragon GP, his achievements still lag behind his teammate.

Statistical comparison shows a clear difference — Marc Marquez as the team newcomer has accumulated six podiums with four victories, while Bagnaia has only achieved five podiums with one victory.

The 2022 and 2023 MotoGP world champion has also not shown optimal performance in sprint races — no podiums since Spanish GP. Even his latest podium at Aragon GP hasn’t made a significant impact on his position in the current standings.
