An intriguing theory for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pecco Bagnaia’s difficulties on the 202😼5 Ducati was raised on the Crash MotoGP podcast.

Bagnaia💙, 𝓡who only lost last year’s championship at the final round, has struggled badly with front end feel on the GP25 this season.

He trails new teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez, the championship leader, by 51 points. But Bagnaia has also lagged behind Gresini’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Marquez, on a year-old Ducati, this year.

However, a look at two ex-Ducati riders who left the manufacturer over t༺he winter couꦜld shed some light on Bagnaia’s struggle to adapt.

“They have lost Jorge Martin and Enea Bastianini, two other guys who could have gone from the GP2🍸4 to🔯 the GP25,” Peter McLaren said on the Crash MotoGP podcast.

“He’s the only guy who has made that step.

“Marc and Fabio di Giannantonio came from the ‘23 whꦛich was tricky to ride. So🐼, for them, the bike is better.

“Also, Marc is Marc. It’s like basing the Ducati on what Casey Stoner was doing on it. You almost have to exclude Marc from the avera♌ge or the nor🐎m of the bike.

“Maybe that’s what Pecco was getting at when 🍒he said ‘Marc can ride anything’.

“The last time a rider said that, that I can think of, was Jorge Lorenzo talking about Stoner atও a Sepang test.

“There is no point drawing conclusions from what Casey diꦕd on the Ducati, or wha𒊎t Marc is doing now.

“There are questions for Ducati: why Pecco can’t ge🥃t feeling, Diggia is having problems, the ‘24 is strong, and Davide Tardozzi’s confirmation that the🤪 ‘25 engine is different.

“We were led to beli💮eve that the choice was the original ‘25 or the ‘24, now they’ve gone with a hybrid. It can’t be changed because the engine is frozenꦍ.”

Pecco Bagnaia 'seeing the differences' in MotoGP data

Marquez took a🅰n iron grip of the championship last weekend at the French MotoGP, winning the sprint then finishing second in the grand prix.

Bagnaia didn’t take a single point home from Le Mans, crashinꦚg in both races, compounding his woes.

“It has all got a lot more complicated. Multiple things hap💧pened at Le Mans - 🉐the bike, saying ‘I’ve got to change because they can’t change the bike’,” Peter McLaren continued.

“The opening rounds weren’t easy to compare to last year: Thailand moved to the start of the year, Argentina 🍌came back, C🥃OTA is COTA, then Qatar is a night race.

“Then we’ve 💞had Jerez and Le Mans - same time of year, same type of tyres.

“Fabiꦆo di Giannantonio🧸 also complained about front end feeling.

“He’s got ꦆconcerns and problems with the front end. ജSome people probably thought: ‘you say the front end is a problem but you're getting points, maybe it’s okay…’

“Then came the crasཧh in the sprint whi𝔉ch takes it into another dimension, where ‘you have got a lack of feeling, you’re close to crashing’.

“The Sunday [clash] with Enea Bastianini was just a racing incident, when it rains it pou🤡rs.

“All three guys on the GP24 have been on ꦗthe podium this year, so that bike is strong.

“Presumably they are looking at data. P෴ecco will look at his data from last year, and the data of three fast guys on the GP24. He’s seeing the differences.”
