For double MotoGP champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia, fading from third to sixth in Saturday’s Silverstone Sprint represented the latest chไapter in his ongoing handling woes with the Ducati GP25.

The difference was that the fast Silverstone circuit exacerbated the problem while, Bagnaia believes, title-leading team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez also s✤uffered from the same issues fꦬor the first time.

Bagnaia held third behind the Marquez brothers, Alex and Marc, until a dramatic decline - caused by a loss of rear grip - saw him overtaken by the sister GP25 of Fabio di Giannantonio (VR46), plus Marco Beꦕzzecchi (Aprilia) and Johann Zarco (LCR Honda).

Rear grip might seem unconnected to front𝔉 handling but in a detailed explanation on Saturday evening, Bagnaia spoke of how the lack of front performance caused him to overwork the rear.

“Riders were overtaking me like I wasn't there”

“I started well. I used a mistake by Fabio [Quartararo] to overtake hꦺim and then I tried to follow the first two guys. And after four laps I completely finished the rear tyre,” Bagnaia began.

“That is strange. But not for the tyre, but for my bike, which is not 🦩helping me to turn.

“Every time I’m braking and entering the corners, I’m not in the correct line. So I need to force a lot the rear to make the bike turn, and I finished it🌌. 

"Then it was a case of survival until the last la🧸ps, with riders overtaking me like I wasn't there.”

“This circuit is one of the worst for tyre consumption [anyway] and♔ if we are not solving the problem of turning, it will be difficult also with the medium [compound] in the grand prix,” he warned.

“I cannot understand if I'm using a soft or hard front tyre”

One of the standout quotes from Bagnaia’s calm𓆉🃏 and detailed debrief came when he revealed:

“I’ll give you an example: For the first time this season, I cannot understand if I'm using a soft front tyr🌊e or a hard front tyre. ꦇ;

"Those are two completely different things, and for ꦫme, it's the same, riding the bike. Right now, this is the situa🉐tion.”

Alex Marquez "doing what I was doing last year”

Silverstone was also Marc Marquez’s most﷽ difficu🍸lt Saturday of the season.

The Spaniard missed the front row for the first time - and was behind Ba🃏gnaia - in qualifying, then lost his perfect streak of 2025 Sprint wins when beaten by Alex in the afternoon.

Bagnaia believes it’s a consequence of the track layout exagge🌟rating the GP25’s handling deficiencies.

“Marc is not performing like normal, that is super good 🌃and always to [overcome] the problems. And this track is also making his life difficult.

“So right now, when you're looking at Alex Marquez’s data, he is doing what I was doing last year. And wit༺h the same confidence. 

"๊And what I’m doing this season is not comparable to last yea𓃲r.”

But while Marc still spea💛ks of the GP25 being "the same" as the GP24 used ⭕by Alex, Bagnaia - the only rider to move from a GP24 to GP25 - is adamant there is a significant difference in ‘feeling’.

“I think they are theoretically 💞similᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚar, but the feeling is quite different,” he said.

“Marc had the same feeling as me”

After perhaps being made to feel he was alone in ex♔periencing the handling issues, Bagnaia highlighted: “For the first time this season, Marc had the same feeling as me.”

But the factory team-mates diverged in terms of a solutio🐷n.

An openly “struggling” Marquez spoke of the rider needin👍g to overcome the pღroblems: 

“When you are trying a lot of se🏅t-ups and you don’t feel comfortable, it means you are the problem; the bike is not the probl🐬em, because this is something that some riders misunderstand.

“When you try three, four di💙fferent set-ups and the problems are still ther🐈e, it means you are the problem, the bike is not the problem. So, for tomorrow I need to work on my riding style.”

However, Bagnaia regards the situation as “a failure of everybody if we are notꩲ succeeding” and that Marc’s difficulties are a validation of what he’s feeling.

“We are working hard, and all the team, all the engineers are on it. It’s a failure of everybody i🐈f we are not succeeding, so we are trying to solve every problem,” B﷽agnaia said.

“I’m giving my maximum every time, they are giving their maximum. We are🐷♋ trying to analyse everything.

“For the first time this seas♊on, Marc had the same feeling as me. He was just better because he was able to follow Alex f🧔or more laps, and then he dropped a lot in the last laps.

“But he was more or less feeling the same. So being in th🎀e same direction will help absolutely to understand what to do.”

“A huge problem for my riding style”

Bagnaia insisted that a solution will only take the form of “small details”, bu⛄ไt at present it’s causing a “huge problem for my riding style”.

“I think that it’s little things right now, bec🎐ause like I said, the bikes technically are simꦓilar [to last year]. But it’s the small details that are not giving me the same feeling with the front that I always had from 2021 to 2024.

“It’s the first time that I cannot feel the front. So this is a huge problem for my riding style, which I’m trying to adapt to the bike.🐻 But I’m destroying the tyres, I’m not happy riding, so it’s not easy.”

Track temperatures were nine degrees cooleไr this year, but for comparison, Alex ๊Marquez won this year's Sprint with a race time 3.728s slower than Enea Bastianini's victory on a GP24 last year.
