Pecco Bagnaia says Ducati “was trying to create the situation it has now” in MotoGP w🅺ith two riders capable of winning the title after signing Marc Marquez to its factory team.

The 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:factory Ducati squad has gone unbeaten in the 2025 MotoGP season so far, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez winning all four sprints and three of the first four grands prix, while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pecco Bagnaia was victorious at the Americas Grand Prix.

Marquez has had the better of his double w✨orld champion team-mate so far in 2025, with the pair split by 26 points coming into this weekend’s Spanish GP at Jerez.

It’s the first time the factory Ducat꧟i squad has had two riders it can rely on equally to win the world championship.

Bagnaia says this is something the marque was looking to ඣcreate, especially in light of how he won more gra👍nds prix than Jorge Martin last year but still lost the title by 10 points due to eight non-scores.

“I think what Ducati was trying to create was this situation because last year we lost the championship because I was committing mistakes,” he told TNT Sports♚ ahead of the Qatar GP.

“Whꩵen you are stronger and you are winning 18 𝔉races in a single season with the sprints, and then losing the championship, it’s something strange to explain.

“And I’m the only one who lost it because I was always there,❀ always fighting for the wไin, and many times I crashed or we had problems when I was leading or fighting for top positions.

“So, ꧅it will be long to accept because♒ I know that it’s 100% my fault and I’m trying to improve on it.

“After this 🍰year it’s important to fight back to try to win the championship again.

“I know that ♉this season will be difficult, will be tough for the fight we will have with Marc. But if I win, it will be ဣfantastic. So, I have to keep going working like this.”

While all expectation is for tensions to flare inside t🦋he factory Ducati garage at some point this season, Bagnaia says the atmosphere “is still very great”.

“I think that right no🐓w is not the moment,” he adde⛄d.

“I think we are doing good team work. We are always speaking about how to improve during the r🐻ace weekend, and Marc surely has adapted perfectly to the situation, to the strategy of the team and the atmosphere is still very great inside the garage.

“So, it’s better like this, it’s great to have met riders like Marc, who I’ve never had the chan🅷ce to speak with him and understand that our relationship can be this good. And this is great.”
