Bagnaia Finally Gets Podium at GP Aragon, Still Under Marquez’s Shadow

Francesco Bagnaia finally returned to the MotoGP podium — a relieving result after experiencing a difficult period with Ducati in the 2025 season.

The 28-year-old Italian rider finished third at GP Aragon, which ran for 23 laps at MotorLand Aragon, Spain — an achievement that ended two previous rounds without points.

However, his teammate Marc Marquez continued to show stronger dominance with the Demosedici GP25 — the Spanish rider won the race for the fourth time this season after leading since the first free practice session.

Despite reaching the podium, Bagnaia acknowledged still facing challenges in controlling his motorcycle — a situation that has persisted since the beginning of this season.
