Unnoticed reason finally spotted for Pecco Bagnaia’s Ducati GP25 trouble
Is this the reason for Pecco Bagnaia's deficit?

An intriguing theory for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pecco Bagnaia’s difficulties on the 2025 Duca𒈔ti was raised on the Crash MotoGP podcast.
Bagnaia, who only lost last year’s championship at the final round, has sꦦtruggled badly with front end feel on the GP25 this season.
He trails new teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez, the championship leader, by 51 points. But Bagnaia has also lagged behind Gresini’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez, on a year-old Ducati, this year.
However, a look at two ex-Ducati riders who left the ma✅nufacturer ove⛎r the winter could shed some light on Bagnaia’s struggle to adapt.
“They have lost Jorge Martin and Enea Bastianini, two other guys who could have gone from the GP24 to the GP25,” Peter McLaren said on the Crash MotoGP💜 podcast.
“He’s the only guy who has made that step.
“Marc and Fabio di Giannantonio came from the ‘23 which was tricky to ride. So, for them, thꦡe bike is better.
“Also, Marc is Marc. It’s like basing the Ducati o𒆙n what Casey Stoner was doing on it. You almost have to exclude Marc from th📖e average or the norm of the bike.
“Maybe that’s what Pecꦰco was getting at when he said ‘Marc can ride anything’.
“The last time a rider said that, that I can think of, was 💜Jorge Lorenzo talking about Stoner at a Sepang test.
“There is no point drawing co𝄹nclusions from what Casey did on the Ducati, or what Marc is doing now.
“There are questions for Ducati: why Pecco can’t ꦜget feeling, Diggia is having problems, the ‘24 is strong, and Davide Tardozzi’s confirmation that tཧhe ‘25 engine is different.
“We were led to believe that the choice was♎ the original ‘25 or the ‘24, now they’ve ꦿgone with a hybrid. It can’t be changed because the engine is frozen.”
Pecco Bagnaia 'seeing the differences' in MotoGP data

Marquez ꦜtook an iron grip of the championship last weekend at the French MotoGP, winning the sprint then finishing seco♉nd in the grand prix.
Bagnaia didn’t take a singl𝓡e point home from Le Mans, crashing iꦍn both races, compounding his woes.
“It has all got a lot more complicated. Multipleꦑ things happened at Le Mans - the bike, saying ‘I’ve got to change because they can’t change the bike’,” Peter McLaren continued.
“The opening rounds weren’t easy to compare to last year: Thailand moved to the 𝓰start of the ye🐼ar, Argentina came back, COTA is COTA, then Qatar is a night race.
“♛Then we’ve had Jerez anꦜd Le Mans - same time of year, same type of tyres.
“Fabio di Giannantonio also complained about fronﷺt end feeling.
“He’s got concerns and prob𓃲lems with the front end. Some people probably thought: ‘y๊ou say the front end is a problem but you're getting points, maybe it’s okay…’
“Th💟en came the crash in the sprint which takes it into another dimension, where ‘yಌou have got a lack of feeling, you’re close to crashing’.
“The Sunday [clash] with Enea Bastianini was just a rꦆacing incident, when it rains it pours.
“All three ꧟guys on the GP24 have been on the podium th🎃is year, so that bike is strong.
“Pr♈esumably they are looking at data. Pecco will look at his data from l꧋ast year, and the data of three fast guys on the GP24. He’s seeing the differences.”
