MotoGp, Ducati: Davide Tardozzi speaks out on Pecco Bagnaia’s difficulties

Two reverses of the same coin: if Marc Marquez closed Friday’s practice at MotorLand Aragon with a broad smile and two sessions finished in first place, his teammate at Ducati’s factory team, Pecco Bagnaia, on the other hand, is struggling with a difficult skein to unravel, as evidenced by his double ninth place finish of the day.
For Davide Tardozzi, team manager of the factory Ducati team, it is a problem of adaptation to a particular section of the Aragonese track: “He has a difficulty in T2, he cannot be effective – he told ‘Sky Sport‘ -. Otherwise, he would be Top 3. It’s our job to help him find the solution, and allow him to qualify on the front row”.
Tardozzi also spoke about Marquez, however, warning the entire box of the Borgo Panigale-based Rossa: “Marc has done very well and can even do better– he said -, but we must not think that he already has the result in hand: an overconfidence can be very dangerous, it is the’antechamber of the’mistake”.
MotoGp World Champion in 2022 and 2023, as well as Moto2 World Champion in 2018, Pecco Bagnaia is experiencing a 2025 without too many flashes, with only one win in the Sunday race in Texas. In the last two race weekends he failed to score points in France, while in Britain he finished sixth in the Sprint and with a retirement in the long race.
