The eighth episode of the "INSIDE Ducati Lenovo Team" series offers an exclusive new look at the atmosphere in the Ducati pits during the MotoGP Grand Prix of Aragon. A weekend marked by Marc Marquez's dominance, and Pecco Bagnaia's continued struggles on the GP25. Once again, the video from Borgo Panigale captures the tension in the No. 63 team, the championship leader's consistently relaxed character, during a weekend where the brand was expected to bounce back, after twice letting victory slip to its rivals.
Marc Márquez put in a string of top-flight performances at Aragon. He dominated every session, won the Sprint, and set a new all-time qualifying lap record. His victory in the main race was the culmination of a flawless weekend. It was enough to tease those who predicted Ducati's downfall after two Grands Prix where its rivals won.
For his part, Pecco Bagnaia had a disastrous sprint. He therefore had to bounce back during the weekend. With the help of his engineers, he tested a modification to his settings, to regain confidence on his machine, and thus secure a pleasing podium, two weeks before his home Grand Prix.
The episode isn't just about pure competition. It also touches on life in the paddock, with nods to the Champions League final, the end of the Parisian tennis tournament, Roland-Garros, and the difficulty the Marquez brothers' mother has supporting her two sons over the course of the same weekend.
