Factory Ducati rider Francesco Bagnaia says his problems getting comfortable aboard the GP25 on the first two weekends of this season are no worse than they were in the early part of 2024. But the Italian understands this season’s issues are costing him more in the light of the competition he faces this year.
The two-time world champion now has a points deficit of 31 to his new team-mate at Ducati, six-time champion Marc Marquez. While Marquez has won both sprints and both grands prix in Thailand and Argentina respectively, Bagnaia followed up three thirds with a fourth in Sunday’s Argentina GP.
