Bagnaia finally returns to MotoGP podium after difficult period

Francesco Bagnaia — the Ducati rider and MotoGP world champion of 2022 and 2023 — finally showed signs of performance recovery at the Aragon GP.

After experiencing a dark period without points in French and British GPs, Bagnaia managed to secure third position at the MotorLand Aragon circuit with its 5.08-kilometer length.

This achievement marks the first podium for Valentino Rossi’s protégé since his appearance at Spanish GP in Jerez Circuit — however, his position still trails behind his teammate Marc Marquez who won the race.

In contrast to Bagnaia’s previous difficult period, Marquez, nicknamed Baby Alien, maintained consistency with second and third podium finishes during the previous two series.
