Ducati’s Davide Tardozzi has warned that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pecco Bagnaia must “manage the problem”.

Factory Ducati rider Bagnaia has trailed behind teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez all season, and spent much of the campaign b❀ehind Gresini’s Alex Marquez to✨o.

Bagnaia won the Americas MotoGP owing💦 to a Marc Marquez crash from 🧸the lead, but then couldn’t capitalise in Qatar at a circuit which was supposed to suit his riding style.

Bagnaia was promoted to sec꧅ond, after finishin🌳g third on-track behind winner Marquez and Maverick Vinales, who was later demoted for tyre pressure.

It was a decent return given he w🎃as 11th in qualifying and eighth in the꧟ sprint race.

Ducati team manager Tardozzi was a♛sked if Bagnaia’s issues on a Saturday were “a bike problem, or a Pecco problem?”

Tardozzi responded to TNT Sports: “It’🐟s something that beဣlongs to us, to always give him the right bike.

“Pecco is now really demanding on setting. ဣHe is not the guy who wants the ride a bike wh🃏ich does not suit his riding style.

“This creates a problem for his team.

“In the end, they finally found a solution, mainly♏ f🧸or the Sunday.

“We still have a problem with him, with th꧙e balance of the bi🐟ke, with a small fuel tank. It creates some problems.

“This is since we had Saturday races.

“But P🏅ecco must think that he is a champion, he must manageಌ the problem.

“One thing we have to work on with him: don’t think about the proble𓃲m, manage the problem.

“The bike has very good points… use it.”

Bagnaia is third in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP standings, 26 points shy of leader Marc Marquez.

The season now ไheads to Europe, starting in Jerez on April 24-26, where Bagnaia must hope to gain some ground back on his red-hot teammate.

But his weaknesses on a ꧒Friday anಞd a Saturday continue to hamper the two-time champion.

“Honestly, we still don’t know what happened,” Tardozzi said 🎉about Bagnaia’s dreadful qualifying and sprint race in Qatar.

“It seemed he had no c🧸onfidence on the front brakes, and entering the corners.

“[Sunday morning] during the warm-up we tried something on the settings, with the balanc💮e of the bike, finally it worked.

“He was not confident on the💦 brakes, this was the main point♌.”

Bagnaia’s P3, which became P2 when Vinales was hit by a ty♔re pressure pಌenalty, at least provided some reason for optimism.

“Pecc🎀o came here with huge expectation because he♓ was thinking it was a race to win,” Tardozzi said.

“But Marc is Marc, he was very fast.

“We were surprised by Mave🐻rick who did a fantastic r🍬ace.

“But after a bad Saturday we are very h𒁏appy with the [secon♑d] place of Pecco.

“He recovered his speed. The next race is one that will suit his riding st꧅yle.

“In the end, firs𝄹t and [second]? We are ver𒁃y happy.”
