Pecco Bagnaia ꦯhas backtracked on comments made after the Argentina MotoGP round that hꦓe could switch back to the 2024 Ducati in America following a tough start to 2025.

The double world champion has been resoundingly bested by his 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:factory Ducati team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez in the opening two rounds of 2025, with even Gresini’s Alex Marquez on the GP24 out of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pecco Bagnaia’s reach.

Marc Marquez has won all races run so far in 2025, while Bagnaia has two sprint thirds and a grand prix third and fourth on hꦇis scorecard s♈o far.

Coming into this weekend༒’s Americas GP, Bagnaia currently sits 31 points adrift of Marc Marquez in the standings.

After Argentina, ღBagnaia told the media: “Maybe from the next race onwards I will 🌊go back to the GP24, because at the moment my feelings are very strange.”

This comment came as a surprise 𝓀given the current version of the GP25 is very close to its predecessor, after Ducati elected to bin its 2025 engine and also continue with the 2024 chassis and aero kits for the opening races.

On Thursday 🐠at the Americas GP, Bagnaia has backtracked on this statement, claiming that he misspoke and didn’t put across what he me🌃ant to say in English.

“Unluckily, I’m not very good at explaining things in Engl💜ish, maybe, because w🔴hat I wanted to explain is I want to be back to my feeling of the GP24,” he said.

“I don’t want to switch to the GP24, also because it’s not poss𓆉ible.

“So, I know the new bike has a better potential, Marc is show𝓰ing it. So, I just need to focus and find back my feeling.”

On where he is losing out on the GP25, Bagnaia revealed: “Analysing the performance, I’m missing in the entrance to the corners - 🍬entry💝 speed to the corners.

💫“That was a peculiarly good point𒆙 from my riding style. So, we have to focus on it and try to improve.”

This weekend’s Ameri🍬cas GP is expected to be dominated by Bagnaia’s team-mate Marc Marquez, given the latter’s record of seven victor🦩ies at COTA since 2013.

Bagnaia only has one COTA podium to his credit in MotoGP from 2021, while last year he endured a difficult weekend aꩵnd could only come up with a fifth-place fini🅷sh in the grand prix.

But he bel𝓀ieves he “can ꧒be faster here compared to Argentina”.

“I feel ready like always,” he said.

“We🐽 are doing always a very good job at home. We train well and we try to analyse everything in terms of what I can do better.

“With my manager Gia🅷nluca [Falcioni] we an💜alysed different things.

“With my trainer Carlo [Casabianca] we did other things. So, 🎀I think we prepared well the race weekend and we have to try to improve.

“It’s clear that it was not the ideal start in terms of feeling, but I finished all the ra🦂ces in the top four. So, we h🙈ave just to be calm and continue working like I’m doing.

“I feel good because I know I can be faster here co🐽mpared to Argentina, which was always a difficult track for me in every category.

“So, I will try to be competitive⭕ from Friday morning and continue improving because I know the poten🦄tial here can be higher.”
