A hypothesis has been put forward fo💎r why has struggled on his Ducati at the first two MotoGP rounds of 2025.

His new factory Ducati teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez has romped to four v💦ictories out of four in Thaꦯiland and Argentina.

Perha🃏ps more worryingly, Bagnaia has even trailed Gresini’s Alex Marquez who is riding a Ducati which is a year older in spec.

Bagn♓aia has hinted about returning to a 2024 machine after battling his GP25 to little avail.

However, it has been noticed how Bagnaia’s usual approach to the first practice session on a Friday is not h🎀elping his cause against🃏 Marquez.

“It was a typical Pecco FP1 - he wasn’t comfortable on the bi𒁏ke, he’s making mistakes and he’s over-riding,” TNT Sports’ Neil Hodgson noticed 🌄in Argentina.

“I know why. It’s𒁏 because his Achilles Heel, his weakness, has always been, even when he wins titles, is that he’s a slow-burner. It takes him time to build into a weekend.

“The problem is t𝓀hat the guy next to him, Marc, is the opposite. He goes straight t⛦o the limit.

“What does that gain you? It gains you v💫ital information. By Lap 3 or 4, everything you do on track is so important to improving your motorcycle and your feeling.

“That information is what your engineer⭕s work with. More now than ever. There are so many engineers in the factory Ducati team.

“Bagnaia was 16th fastest, 1.35s off. Every lap he’s doi🎶ng is irrelevant because he’s so far off t🐓he pace. But Marquez is relevant.

“After Marc’s first nine laps, he’s 💃got five laps worth of quality data. [Bagnaia] has zero.”

Pecco Bagnaia 'normal approach isn't working'

Bagnaia has been flummoxed by the data that Marquez is provid𒉰ing on the 2025 Ducati, it is claimed.

“You look at your teammate and what he can do, and his data, and ✤you can’t do what he♏ can in the left-handers,” Michael Laverty said.

“You scratch y♏our head, you change how you work, you don’t work towards your stren💝gth, you no longer have the confidence to be relaxed on a Friday, you start to try harder.

“Your normal a🔥pproach isn’ꦑt working. You can crumble.”

Hodgson added: “You try harder. What happens when you try harder? Me and Michael exౠperienced it on track.

“You feel like you’re pushing so hard but the lap time doesn𝐆’t come. You upset the bike.

“The fastest laps of your life are whe𓆏n 🦩you’re relaxed, and it just comes to you.

“You know Davide Tardozzi will 𒆙be in Bagna🌸ia’s ear saying ‘attack the first session’.

ဣ“That’s what he’s trying to do, that’s why he looks uncomfortable, that’s why he’s over-riding and he’s 16th.”

Laverty said: “Pecco is so methodical. He will stay on his path. It ℱwill be so important for Tardozzi to manage that situation. He is hard with Pecco.”

Bagnaia is do🍌wn on his luck after the first couple of MotoGP ro𒀰unds of 2025.

He is third in the standings, 31 points behind le♌ader 🅷Marquez.

Worryingly, the next round is at the Circuit of the Americas wh❀ere an in-form Marquez could do🍷minate.

Bagnaia w🌌ill be looking at the later Europe🍸an rounds to get some wins on the board before it’s too late.
