Pecc𝄹o Bagnaia says Ducati “was trying to 🍌create the situation it has now” in MotoGP with two riders capable of winning the title after signing Marc Marquez to its factory team.

The 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:factory Ducati squad has gone unbeaten in the 2025 MotoGP season so far, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez winning all four sprints and three of the first four grands prix, while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pecco Bagnaia was victorious at the Americas Grand Prix.

Marquez has had the bettꦑer of his double world champion team-mate so far in 2025, with the pair split by 26 points coming into tꦡhis weekend’s Spanish GP at Jerez.

It’s the first time the factory Ducati squad has had two riders it can rely on equally to win the world champ♍ionship.

Bagnaia says this is something the marque was looking to create, especially in light of how he won more grands prix than Jorge Martin last year but still lost the title by 10 points due to eight ꦐnon-scores.

“I think what Ducati was trying to create was this situation because last year we lost the championship because I𒁏 was committing mistakes,” he told TNT Sports ahead of the Qatar GP.

“When you are stronger and you are winning 18 races in a single season with the sprints, and then losin𒈔g 🦂the championship, it’s something strange to explain.

“And I’m the only one who lost it because♏ I was always there𝔉, always fighting for the win, and many times I crashed or we had problems when I was leading or fighting for top positions.

“So, it will be long to accept because I know that it’s 100% my fault and I’m trying to imꦗprove on it.

“After thi🌠s year it’s important to 🌱fight back to try to win the championship again.

“I know that this season will be difficult, will be tough for th🅷e fight we will have with Marc. But if I win, it will be fantastic. So, I have to keep going worki﷽ng like this.”

While all expectation is for tensions to flare inside the fact🥀ory Ducati garage at some point this season, Bagnaia says the atmosphere “is still very great”🦩.

“I think that 🐈right now is not the moment,” ♋he added.

“I think we are doing good team work. We are always speaking about how to improve duri🔯ng the race weekend, and Marc surely has adapted perfectly to the situation, to the strat꧒egy of the team and the atmosphere is still very great inside the garage.

“So, it’s better like this, it’s great to have met riders like Marc, who I’ve never had the chance to speak✅ with him and understand that our relationship can be this good. And this is great.”
