Pecco Bagnaia is still without a victory in this world championship with Ducati

Pecco Bagnaia is still without a victory in this world championship with Ducati

Thirty-one points of detachment, not exactly the score that bagnaia one would have imagined having from Marquez after (just) two GPs scheduled for 2025. Thirty-one points are a lot, especially if, just like Pecco and Marc, they are riders who ride the same bike, the Ducati. Yes, the bike.

So... so, also to try to put a first stop - that is, not to let Marquez further increase his lead in the standings - the day after the Argentine GP, the surprise idea with which Pecco would like to face the next race, on March 30, arrives directly from South America (in a social interview relaunched by Youtube) Austinin Texas.

"Maybe, in the next GP, I could use the Ducati Gp24...", that is, the bike from last season, the one he fought with until the end to try to snatch the World Championship from Martin. Bagnaia's move could, therefore, be to get back on track with a Desmo that he knows better and with which he has put together a series of victories worthy of applause. "In any case - these are his words again after the missed podium in Argentina - we are improving, but it is not enough. Having said that, I do not give up and will not give up and I will continue to work because I know that my potential is higher".

Of course, it cannot be forgotten that the next track – Austin – is the favourite of Marc Marquez. In Texas the Spaniard dominated for an endless series of GPs. They call him the Sheriff in those parts. And he will show them off his star and gun also for his first time as an official Ducati rider.
