The latest edition of Fraꦇncesco Bagnaia’s YouTube series offers a behind-the-scenes look at the Italian’s ongoing battle with front-end issues on the latest Ducati GP25.

Practice footage from the French GP weekend captured candid ga🦹rage conversations between Bagnaia and team manager Davide Tardozzi.

“The moment you start to lean𒅌 in, you always have the feeling th🐭at you’re at the limit,” Tardozzi says to Bagnaia.

“It’s been like this since the beginning of the year,” re♏plies Bagnaia. “Now I’m drawing a li♚ne under it and starting to ride in a different way. Since that’s the way it is.”

Tardozzi nods in agreement: “That’s j🎀ust the way it is, you get used to it and manage it.”

“It’s just that it’s much harder for me because I’m this close to falling," Bagnaia 𓄧warns, pinching his fingers.

Falling is exactly what Bag🐻naia went on to do in both races at Le Mans, creating his first ‘double zero’ since MotoGP’s Sprint format began in 2023.

Bagnaia's first race crash of the season came in the form of an early error during th✱e Sprint. 

Things then went from bad to worse when he was taken out by former team-mate E🌜nea Bastianini at the first chicane of the grand pr🐟ix.

It l🌊eaves Bagnaia 51 points behind new team-mate Marc Marquezඣ, with Alex Marquez of Gresini Ducati 29 points ahead.

“It’s not a comfortable situation,” Bagnaia reflects in the video. “It’s d𝓡ifficult for me t🐎o accept this because I’m used to something else.

“I’ve never really acknowledged luck or bad luck. Let’s say that they don’t exist. Bad luck is for those wh🐬o make mistakes, good luck is for those who win.

“It’s not an easy moment.”

Crew chief Cristian Gabarrini, who in the same episode credits Pecco as “the first to introduce corner speed with a Ducati,ဣ” adds:

“The ultimate goal is to give Pecco the best we possibly can. And then ultimately,✤ it’s him who has to make the difference♓ on the track.”
