Ducati reveal how they dealt with gutted Francesco Bagnaia after Portimao crash
Will Ducati be required to further manage the Francesco Bagnaia🌃-Marc Marquez c🐻lash?

Ducati gave 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia a few days of peace to get over his disappointing incident with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez.
The Portuguese MotoGP was lit up by Bagnaia’s unsuc♛cessful attempt to overtake Marquez in their battle for P5.
Reigning MotoGP champion Bagnaia crashed out, while Marquez was able to clamber back to finish 🤪the race but his hope of points was exti꧅nguished.
“In cases like these, you let some time pass, a few days,” explained Davide Tardozzi, the Ducati tꦇeam manager.
“And then you💮 go back to talking. We need to decan💮t.”
Tardozzi said about the clash between two Ducati riders: “Without a doubt it was a🍷 racing incident.
“It's clear that in certain situations it would🍎 be better to stay calꦰmer, but the two riders explained themselves so I think it's something resolved and closed with a handshake.
"When a s🅺ix-time MotoGP champion and a two-time MotoGP champion find themselves fighting, i💜t's clear that neither of them wants to give up: these are good things for the spectators but they also have an end."
It was deemed a racing incident by🅰 the stewards, which Bagnaia and Marquez agreed with.
How Ducati manage any lingering fallout could be ke෴y to Bagnaia’s title defence.
Claudio Domenicali, the Ducati CEO, was asked about it and he replied: “I understand that they like the topic as a journalistic cue, but🦩 I try not🍸 to get pulled into the controversy if I can. I don’t bite.”
The good news for Duꦏcati is that Pramac’s Jorge Martin leads the championship after two rounds.
Enea Bastianini, Bagnaia’s teammate in the fact𓆉ory team, finished second to⛦ Martin in the Portuguese MotoGP.
Bastian♌ini is third in the standings in a year where he must salvage his 2025 Ducati spot.
“I believe that Enea is rediscovering the speed of 2022,” Tardozzi insist🎃ed.
“Just as꧅ I believe that in Austin he will be able to be a protagonist again and fight for victory.
“He is gi൩ving us the satisfaction he deserves, and that we thought he could gi꧟ve us when we decided to confirm him, despite a disastrous 2023 through no fault of his."
