“Delicate situation with Ducati management” in Marc Marquez-Pecco Bagnaia garage
Ducati bosses are facing a delicate situation in managing Marc Marquez and Pecco Bagnaia, the factory duo, in the upcoming MotoGP races. Marquez, the newcomer, has excelled in the MotoGP standings, securing a 22-point lead despite some crashes earlier in the season.

Bagnaia feels lost amidst Marquez’s success, indicating he needs to refocus to improve his performance. The Ducati team acknowledges Bagnaia’s confidence issues and ongoing struggle with bike adjustments. If Bagnaia can’t overcome these challenges soon, his championship hopes may fade.
While Bagnaia faces setbacks, Marquez continues to impress with his adaptability and willingness to learn. At 32, Marquez’s dedication and humility are key factors in his success this season. Ducati management will need to address the delicate situation between the two riders to maximize their performance potential in the upcoming MotoGP rounds.
