Ducati have been told they must seriously consider whether to revert 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pecco Bagnaia to a 2024-spec bike.

Bagnaia has lagged behind factory Ducati teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez, who is also riding the new GP25 this season, but also trailed Gresini’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez who has a year-old version.

The Jerez tes♕t a week ago gave Ducati and Bagnaia an opportunity to close the deficit but, with the championship eking away from him, h🌃e has been advised to consider utilising last year’s bike.

Bagnaia was 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历ꦫ史:third in Friday practice for the French Mo𒅌toGP, which his teammate topped.

Dorna’s Jack Appleyard ask🌳ed in Le Mans at the French MotoGP: “At what poin⛦t do Ducati say: this GP25 isn’t a marked improvement on the ‘24 machine?

“The ‘24 machine leads the championship through A🎀lex Marquez.

“Pecco has said on record, on multiple occasions, ‘I cannot do the things I ౠwant to do, on this bike, as I could with the ‘24’.

“When I say bruised ego, at what point do Ducati admit it, and hold their ha🔜nds up, and revert back to the ‘24 package?

“I think that is a conversation that needs to be had. We need t👍o see whether it happens.

“If they can’t find improvements over the nex🗹t couple of rounds, surely Bagnꦚaia will be screaming: ‘Give me a bike I can perform with!’”

Louis Sudd🅺aby added: “Bagnaia said, after Jerez, that he lookဣs at the data of what Alex Marquez is doing. And it’s what he was doing, last season.

“So he’s confident that, if he was on the motorcycle that Alex Marquez is on, he’d be ❀doing something similar, if not better.”

However, Ducati arrived at Le Mans with168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: an updated chassis fꦏor Marc M🥂arquez only.

Davide T꧑ardozzi has talked up the chassis, and the parts that were tested in Jerez which he insists will help Bagnaia too.

Tardozzi did n𒁏ot confir🐷m why Bagnaia is not using the new chassis in Le Mans.

Pecco Bagnaia has not 'looked competitive at any point'

Bagnaia is 20 poi𓂃nts shy of championship leader Alex Marquez.

“Despite it being Pecco’s best star🦩t, in terms of points, to a season that he’s ever had, despite him being off the podiuღm on only two occasions, despite him already winning a race, I don’t think he’s looked competitive at any point this year,” Appleyard said.

“It never🐈 looks as though he has been the masterful Bagnaia that has been able to romp away at the front.

“That Jerez test was the mo🅠st important day of his season so far.

“When he spoke to journalists in the media cen🌼tre, he wasn’t too glow𒅌ing in his reports of how the test went.”

Suddaby replied: “We will f🎃ind out🌱 this weekend, ultimately.

“He has been consistent but at n𓃲o grand prix has he been the fastest rider, or the fastest Ducati.

“He’s always had one, or two, quicker than him. The Marq🍃uez brothers.

Bagnaia might feel that he’s got away wi🍸th one, so🃏 far this season.

“To have racked up the points that he has, to be within a race of the leadꦬ.

“If he can flick a switch and get back to the Bagnaia who 𒉰won 11 grands prix last season, he’s firmly in the world 𒀰champion conversation.

“B🌜ut he’s got Marc Marquez who has barely taken a backwards step this season. The only points he’s given up have been literally given up through his own mistakes. And Alex Marquez is riding as well as he ever has.

“Pecco knowꦓs that, if he is to win the championship back, he has to 🐻raise his game.

“He can’t expect Marquez to keep making mistakes. You can’t imagine Marquez, with the bruised ego that he’s got, coming to Le Mans to offer more opportunities like that.ꦛ”
