168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia returns to Jerez this weekend looking to halt team-mate Marc Marquez’s early MotoGP momentum at a circuit where the Italian has been dom💧inant in recent years.

Bagnaia is chasing a fou🃏rth consecutive Spanish 🌸Grand Prix victory, having not been beaten at Jerez since finishing runner-up to Jack Miller in 2021.

Last year’s win came😼 in a fierce duel with Marquez - then on a year-old Gresini Ducati - that was so close it left tyre marks on the Spaniard’s leathers.

“I have achieved a lot here in Jerez in the last three years and I𒁏 am happy to retꦕurn for the GP,” said Bagnaia.

“We have always been very fast and w✃e have achieved the maximum result in the last seasons.

“In Qatar, we straightened out a weekend that after qualifying, seemeꦿd really complicated. Another important podium and increasingly better riding sensations.”

Bagnaia’s latest rostrum came after a costly qualifying crash in Lusail left him starting 11th on the grid, but the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Ducati Lenovo rider carved his way back to third (second after Maverick Vinales’ tyre penalty) to stay w🦩ithin striking distance in the standings.

However, the gap is growing.

With Marquez winning seven of the first eight races since joining the factory Ducati squad - and only crashing out while leading at COTA - Bagnaia fin🍒ds himself 26 points adrift of the eight-time champion heading into round five.

To add to the pressure, he also trails Gresini’s Alex Marquez by nine points, making him third-best on Duca🎐ti’s machinery in the current standings.

But if tracks such ꦫas Terma💧s and COTA were firmly Marc Marquez territory, Jerez is much more suited to Bagnaia.

“I scored my first podium with D🐎ucati [at Jerez] last year after a great duel with Pecco, who is really fast here,” Marquez acknowledged.

Alongside Bagnaia’s winning record, the Sp🀅anish circuit has consistently suited his smooth, precise riding style. It’s also a track where Ducati’s strengths - such as edge grip and acceleration - can be exploited.

But with Marquez now on the same factory-spec GP25, the dynamic has shifted and Bagnaia f๊aces a major challenge to try and break the grip Marquez has had on the 2025 season so far.
