The 2025 Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez saw Ducati celebrate its 22nd consecutive victory, led by Alex Marquez (Gresini Racing), but also saw failures from Pecco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez, as Gigi Dall'Igna analyzed on LinkedIn.
The Jerez weekend offered Ducati a new victory - his 22nd consecutive in MotoGP - but also highlighted several fundamental issues, addressed with rare frankness by Gigi Dall'Igna. In his traditional report on LinkedIn, the CEO of Ducati Corse congratulated Alex Marquez, while issuing a warning to Pecco Bagnaia, which he believes falls short of expectations.
Dall'Igna did not fail to highlight the highlight of the Spanish Grand Prix : " Alex's victory on his national circuit, his first in the premier class, is historic and well deserved, for the driver we already knew well, but above all for his excellent start to the season, with continuity, quality, intelligence, rhythm and speed »
He also praised the team's work Gresini : "The fact that he is now leading the World Championship speaks volumes about this magical weekend. Congratulations to the whole team."
But the tone changes when he discusses the performance of the double MotoGP world champion: " Pecco did not live up to expectations, mainly because he got us used to better things on Sundays. He lacked the liveliness we all expected, as well as those peaks needed to fight for the top again. »
Gigi Dall’Igna: “ it is imperative that we improve »
Despite its third place, Dall'Igna remains demanding: " From a championship point of view, it's a good result, but it's imperative for us to improve.. »
He also mentioned the fall of Marc Marquez, which occurred at the start of the race: “ It was a mistake that came too early, long before the GP took shape.. » But he praised the courage of his pilot: " We must appreciate the tenacity of the rider in wanting to resume the race with a very damaged bike, to finish twelfth »
Dall'Igna issued a clear warning to his troops: " Our opponents have shown what they are capable of. This does not surprise us, but It is a reminder that we must work hard to raise our level even higher. »
Ducati remains dominant, but Dall'Igna hammers it home: the danger in MotoGP never comes only from the outside — it also comes from inner relaxation.
