For double MotoGP champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia, fading ꩵfrom third to sixth in Saturday’s Silverstone Sprint re🎃presented the latest chapter in his ongoing handling woes with the Ducati GP25.

The difference was that the fast Silverstone circuit exacerbated the problem while, Bagnaia believes, title-leading team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez also suffered from theꦿ🎐 same issues for the first time.

Bagnaia held 💦third behind the Marquez brothers, Alex and Marc, until a dramatic decline - caused by a loss of rear grip - saw him overtaken by the sister GP25 of Fabio di Giannantonio (VR46ꦍ), plus Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia) and Johann Zarco (LCR Honda).

Rear🌟 🐓grip might seem unconnected to front handling but in a detailed explanation on Saturday evening, Bagnaia spoke of how the lack of front performance caused him to overwork the rear.

“Riders were overtaking me like I wasn't there”

“I started well. I used a mistake by Fabio [Quartararo] to ov🌜ertake him and then I tried to follow the first two guys. A🧜nd after four laps I completely finished the rear tyre,” Bagnaia began.

“That is strange. But not for the tyre, but for my bike, whic🌌h is not helping me to turn.

“Every time I’m braking and entering the corners, I’m not in th🐻e correct line. So I need to force a lot the rear to make the bike turn, and I finished ♋it. 

"Then it was a case of survival until the l♊ast laps, with riders overtaking me like I wasn't there.”

“This circuit is one of the worst for tyre consumption [anyway] and if weಌ are not solving the problem of turning, it will be difficult also with the medium [compound] in the grand prix,” he warned.

“I cannot understand if I'm using a soft or hard front tyre”

One of the stando෴ut quotes from Bagnaia’s calm and detailed debrief▨ came when he revealed:

“I’ll give you an example: For the first time this season, I cannot understand if I'm using aꦇ soft front tyre or a hard front tyre. 

"Those are two❀ completely different things, and for me, it's the same, riding the bike. Right now, this is the situatio💖n.”

Alex Marquez "doing what I was doing last year”

Silverstone was also Marc Marquezꦑ’s most difficult Saturday of the seas💙on.

The Spaniard missed the front row for the first time - and was behind Bagnaia - in qualifying, then lost his perfect streak 𝐆of 2025 Sprint wins when beaten by Alex in the afternoon.

Bagnaia believes it’s a consequence of the track layout exaggerating the GP25’s 🔯handling deficiencies.

“Marc is not performing like normal, that is super good and always to [overcom𒀰e] the problems. And 𝓰this track is also making his life difficult.

“So right now, when you're looking at Alex Marquez’s data, h🥀e is doing what I was doing last year. And with the same confidence. 

"And what I’m doing th༺is season is not comparable to last yea𒐪r.”

But while Marc still speaks of th💖e GP25ꦜ being "the same" as the GP24 used by Alex, Bagnaia - the only rider to move from a GP24 to GP25 - is adamant there is a significant difference in ‘feeling’.

“I think they are theoretically ꦬsimilar, but ꧒the feeling is quite different,” he said.

“Marc had the same feeling as me”

After perhaps being made toꩲ feel he was alone in experiencing the handling issues, Bagnaia highlighted: “For the first time this season, Marc had the same fe🃏eling as me.”

But 🧔the factory team-ma🎃tes diverged in terms of a solution.

An openly “struggling” Marquez spoke of the rider needing 🦩to overcome the problems: 

“When you ar❀e trying a lot of set-ups and you don’t feel comfortable, it means you are the pro♔blem; the bike is not the problem, because this is something that some riders misunderstand.

“When you🅷 try three, four different se💞t-ups and the problems are still there, it means you are the problem, the bike is not the problem. So, for tomorrow I need to work on my riding style.”

However, Bagnaia regards the situation as “a failu✤re of everybody if we are not succeeding” and that Marc’s difficulties are a validation o🐻f what he’s feeling.

“We are working hard, and all the team, all the engineers are on it. It’s a fai൩lure of everybody if we are not succeeding, so we are trying to solve every problem,” Bagnaia said.

“I’m giving my maximum eveꦦry time, they are gi⛄ving their maximum. We are trying to analyse everything.

“For the first time this season, Marc had the same feeling as me.🦹 He was just better because he was able to follow Ale🔜x for more laps, and then he dropped a lot in the last laps.

“But he was more or less f�෴�eeling the same. So being in the same direction will help absolutely to understand what to do.”

“A huge problem for my riding style”

Bagnaia insisted th🌃at a solution will only take the form of “small detai🐓ls”, but at present it’s causing a “huge problem for my riding style”.

“I think that it’s little things right now, because like I said, the bikes technically are similar [to lꦗast year]. But it’s the small details that are not giving me the sam൲e feeling with the front that I always had from 2021 to 2024.

“It’s the🌸 first time that I cannot feel the front. So thiღs is a huge problem for my riding style, which I’m trying to adapt to the bike. But I’m destroying the tyres, I’m not happy riding, so it’s not easy.”

Track temperatures were nine degrees cooler this year, but for comparison, Alex Marquez won this year's Sprint with 𝐆a race time 3.728s slower than Enea Bastianini's victory on a GP24 last year.
