After being on the podium in three of the first four races, including the win in Austin, Pecco Bagnaia sank into a kind of negative spiral starting from the French Grand Prix (16th), without being able to recover in the British Grand Prix (crash) — a bad dynamic that continued in the Aragón sprint, where he lost many positions and finished 12th.
The two-time MotoGP champion asked Ducati for help, a change, “to talk and find a solution.” This Sunday, the rider from Turin managed to return to the podium, a brilliant third place behind an unreachable Marc Márquez and a solid Alex Márquez, but on the podium, fending off strong attacks from Pedro Acosta.
