MotoGp, Bagnaia crisis: "No one can explain the problem to me"

Mugello, 22 June 2025 – The weekend of Mugello as a last lifeline for Pecco bagnaia. And it didn't work out. If he couldn't be competitive even on the circuit where he had won the last five races (two sprints and three long races), it means there's a big problem. The Ducati rider even finished off the podium Sunday race of Moto GP on the Tuscan track, consistently beaten by the two Marquez but also from Fabio DiGiannantonio on the penultimate lap. In short, a disaster across the board this 2025 for the number 63, who started badly with problems already in the pre-season tests and continued worse, with a feeling with the Gp25 that just isn't there and over 100 points behind Marc Marquez. Pecco, bluntly, admitted it: there is no solution and there is no explanation.

Bagnaia: “There is a problem, but no one can tell me why”

Pecco bagnaia he has always been a sincere rider, who has never hidden, especially in difficulties. He has had few in recent years with two world titles and one lost at the last GP, but in 2025 they all suddenly added up. He really doesn't like the Desmosedici this season, he can't find the right confidence at the front and he can't find his speed, which is that of a world champion, so he sees the others doing what he would like to do. Fourth at Mugello: a defeat on a friendly track and which would have served to give impetus in the second part of the season. Pecco fought at the start with his brothers Marquez, overtaking and counter-overtaking were spectacular, then the Spaniards went on the run and he was also overtaken by By Giannantonio: “Yes we have a problem – the words of bagnaia after the race – Everyone is working and giving their all but we can't solve anything. Nobody can explain to me why I can't go as I always have. In fact, we're not going anywhere”. And the problem risks affecting not only this season, the world championship is now gone, but also 2026 given that the bike is this one (it will change very little) and the new regulations will only come into force in 2027. bagnaia, when asked directly, also cast a worried glance at 2026: "If the same bike remains, it will be a problem because if we don't solve everything this year.... Nine races have passed and we haven't made any progress". There is a big difference compared to the 2024 bike, a bike that he felt was his, and if the Desmo's DNA continues along this path there won't be much room for maneuver: "The bike's DNA is difficult to change, so we need to find the right balance because otherwise we'll be in trouble for two years". Now for bagnaia another friendly circuit in that area Assen in Holland, but if even Mugello didn't give any answers, it's unlikely that the motorcycle university will be able to give them in seven days. Marc Marquez he has the world championship in his pocket and, without major upheavals, he will also have the 2026 championship in his hands… Read also - Moto gp Mugello, Marquez wins.
