Pecco Bagnaia has “questioned himself” after 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez’s inc🌸red꧑ible start - but has been backed to return 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 round which is at his historically fa💎vourite Texas circuit.

Bagnaia, meanwhile, has uncomfortably lagged behind even Alex Marquez who is riding older Ducati machiไnery.

Bagnaia has admitted he may return to a spec closer 𒀰to the 2024 Desmosedi𒁏ci after his struggles.

TNT Sports’ Neil Hodgson said about Bagnaia’s lack of comfort with the front of his Ducati: “It’s so importan🎶t because that’s the feel of the bike. He has been pretty o🧸pen 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 a♑nd fanfare than Marc brings with him.

“It has knocked the wind out of his sail.

“He questioned himself, you c𝐆an’t get the feeling you try harder꧒… the No 1 thing that motorcycle racers do is to ‘try harder’ because you upset the bike, your lap time is slower and you end up in a downward spiral.

“But he’s a bright, intelligent three-time world champion. He will analy🍬se all that and✤ come back with a different plan.”

Marc Marquez 'kicking lumps out of' Pecco Bagnaia

Bagnaia was also dealt a ♕s♔etback in the latter part of last season, when he lost the MotoGP championship to Jorge Martin.

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, itꦏ was suggested.

“Youꦬ are wounded when it happens, then you’ve got the winter to rebuild,” Michael Laverty said.

“Then you’ve got to do it again bec꧙ause your teammate is kicking lumps out of you in every timed session!

“It’s diff𝐆icult to re🍰bound. Then, on top of that, you don’t feel like your bike 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’.”

Marquez’s🔯 lead at the top of the championship could look intimidating after just 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 immediately꧋ to cut the deficit.
