Bagnaia struggles to keep up with Márquez’s dominance at Ducati team

Francesco Bagnaia faces a major challenge—keeping up with his teammate Marc Márquez at the Ducati factory team in the 2025 MotoGP season.

After the opening two rounds in Thailand and Argentina, Márquez has been unstoppable—winning both sprint and main races. Meanwhile, Bagnaia had to settle for third place in both Thailand sessions, followed by third in the sprint and fourth in the main race in Argentina.

The performance gap between the two riders is clear in the current standings—Márquez leads with 74 points, holding a 31-point advantage over Bagnaia, who sits in third place. These results further reinforce the dominance of the ‘Baby Alien’ within the Ducati team.
