The ordeal continues for Pecco Bagnaia in Hungary. Even though he was indeed hindered by Alex Marquez and Jack Miller during Practice – they were also penalized – the Italian was never able to fight for the top positions this Friday. He finished this very important session in 14th place, far, far from the qualifying zone. While he admitted to losing patience in Austria, Pecco Bagnaia continues to sink, while his teammate continues to win.
Here, as elsewhere, Bagnaia did not really have the words to express his disappointment. « I felt comfortable during the tests with the Panigale, but I already knew that I would have difficulties with the Ducati MotoGPThe problem is mainly knowing how to brake to have the best possible grip on bends. Losing speed over a short distance and then turning quickly, This is exactly my problem » he declared.

He already knows his fate is sealed for this weekend. « We are not in the race for victory hereIt's about trying something different in FP2 and improving. The result is always the same, I'm never 100% with the GP25. Yet we have tried everything for months, and neither I nor the team understand » he continued.
He also went into more detail about the difference with the GP24. « If Marc Marquez had tried the GP24, he would have wanted to continue with it. In truth, I'm already taking advantage of his presence, as Marc shows me everything that can be done with this complex motorcycle. But one thing is certain: I can't ride the GP25 like he rides it » he concluded.
