MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi is at a loss to explain Francesco ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia’s ongoing problems aboard the Ducati GP25, but says he is trying to help the double world champion return to his best.
Bagnaia is a graduate of Rossi’s VR46 Academy, along with VR46 Ducati rider Franco Morbidelli, factory Honda man Luca Marini and works Aprilia star Marco Bezzecchi. But, like the factory Ducati squad, Rossi has been unable to get to the bottom of Bagnaia’s 2025 battles thus far.
