Pecco Bagnaia told he ‘upset the bike’, ‘you can’t escape’ Marc Marquez hype
Marc M♊arquez form has "knocked t🧜he wind out of" Pecco Bagnaia

Pecco Bagnaia has “questioned himself” after 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez’s incredib♔le start - but has been backed to ret⛦urn stronger.
Bagnaia’s seniority in the factory Ducati garage has been hampered by his new teammate’s stunning start to the 2025 MotoGP season.
Marquez has won both sprints and both grands prix at the first two rounds, before a 🥀third rou🎐nd which is at his historically favourite Texas circuit.
Bagnaia, meanwhile, has uncomfortably lagged behind even Alex Marquez who is rid💧ing older Ducaಌti machinery.
Bagnaia has admitted he may return to a spec closer to the 2024 Desmosedici aft꧃er his struggles.
TNT Sports’ Neil Hodgson said about Bagnaia’s lack of comfort with🏅 the front of his Ducati: “It’s so important because that’s the feel of the bike. He has been pretty open and vulnerable. That’s what I see.
“He doesn’t seem like himself. I think it’s the shockwave☂ of the man next door. The pressure, expectation and fanfare than Marc brings withℱ him.
“It has knocked the wind out of his sail.
“He questioned himself, you can’t get the feeling you try harder… the No 1 thing that motorcycle racers do is to ‘try harder’ because you upset the bike, your lap time is slower and yoꦛu end up in a downward spiral.
“But he’s a bright, intelligent three-time 🍷world champion. He will analyse all that and 𒉰come back with a different plan.”
Marc Marquez 'kicking lumps out of' Pecco Bagnaia
Bagnaia was also dealt aꦡ setback in the latter part of last season, when he lost the MotoGP championship to Jorge Ma⛄rtin.
On equal machinery, albeit in a satellite Pramac team🦩, Martin claimed the title at the final round.
Bagnaia might still be reeling from that disappointment, it was suggestedᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ.
“You are woun🌠ded when it happens, then you’ve got the winter to rebuild,” Mi✱chael Laverty said.
“Then you’ve got to do it again because your teammate is kicking lumps out of you in every💦 timed session!
“It’s difficult to rebound. Then, on top of that, you don’t feel like your bik𒁏e is as comfortable as last year’s.”
Hodgson added: “Marc is celebrating, so is the team. You can’t escape it. You’re🍷 sat there thinking ‘get me away from it’.”
Mಞarquez’s lead at the top of the championship could look intimidating after j▨ust three rounds, if he claims another victory at the Circuit of the Americas where he typically rides well.
Bagnaia will find himself waiting the favourable circuits in Europe - by which time, the pressure will be intense to win immediate𝕴ly to cut the deficit.
