First part of the MotoGp World Championship to forget for Pecco Bagnaia: the Piedmontese rider has so far won just one race, the one in Austin, has never asserted himself in the sprint races and now has a delay from Marc Marquez of 97 points. The long-awaited duel with the Catalan has never been there, and so far the number 93 has dominated the scene along with his brother Alex.

In an interview to Manuel Pecino&#8217s podcast, former rider Alex Barros was drastic: “He will only win if Marquez allows him to, that is, if Marc falls or makes some serious mistake. But Marquez doesn&#8217t make mistakes, so I see it rather difficult. Maybe he could be more competitive at Mugello“.

“The weekend in Aragon was very difficult for Pecco: Saturday’s race was horrible, Sunday was better, but I don’t know if he can do more than that. He put too much pressure on himself and he is not fighting with Marc”.

At Mugello, history could repeat itself: “If Pecco gets behind Alex again, Marc will do his usual race”.
