Two-time MotoGP world champion Pecco Bagnaia is having a difficult 2025 season, trailing his teammate and championship leader Marc Marquez by 51 points. His crash at the French Grand Prix, where he scored no points, has amplified the criticism. Oscar Haro, former LCR Honda sporting director, is forthright in his vitriolic analysis.
The pressure is mounting around Pecco Bagnaia. And Oscar Haro did not fail to highlight the mental flaws of the double world champion, currently losing ground in the 2025 MotoGP championship. bagnaia makes a series of mistakes and seems to be faltering in the face of the growing power of the competition... even within the red box.
« He loses confidence, he loses his concentrationHe should have won this race in France. ", said Haro, former sporting director of the team Honda LCR, analyzing the Italian driver's latest poor performance. For him, bagnaia does not tolerate the hustle and bustle of the paddock well, and in particular the change in the box Ducati where Marquez, took its place in hearts and results.
« Pecco Bagnaia is caught in a psychological blackout. And he can't get out of it. »
This discomfort has not gone unnoticed within Ducati, where expectations towards bagnaia were very high in 2025, especially with a GP25 designed around its technical feedback. However, performance is not following, and patience is wearing thin in the ranks of Borgo Panigale.
« Dall'Igna, Tardozzi, Pirro… all send clear messages : we expected more from Pecco ", says Haro, who perceives the beginnings of an internal fracture between the Piedmontese champion and his hierarchy. He is struggling with a psychological blackout from which he cannot wake up “, he asserts.
Worse still, Haro evokes a shock scenario: “ I would not rule out an early switch from Pecco to another brand if the internal climate does not improve. »
A hypothesis that is certainly unlikely before 2027, but which underlines the tension that now reigns around bagnaiaThe contrast is all the more cruel as Marc Marquez, he is chaining victories and leading the championship MotoGP with authority – on the same machine.
The rest of the season will be crucial for bagnaia. Not only for his place in the ranking, but also for his future within the universe Ducati, where confidence is no longer unshakeable.
