Bagnaia loses best Ducati rider status to Marc Marquez

Marc Marquez has taken over the status of Ducati Lenovo’s best rider from Francesco Bagnaia — a surprising turn of events in this 2025 season.

The Spanish rider has shown remarkable dominance by securing six victories from ten races held so far. Meanwhile, Bagnaia — previously unmatched for the past four seasons — has only managed to record one victory.

Pietro Bagnaia, Francesco’s father, revealed to Italian journalist Cosimo Curatola from Mowmag about the unexpected situation his son is experiencing. Marquez’s arrival to the team has drastically changed the dynamics — making it difficult for Bagnaia to even reach the podium.
