Ducati confident Pecco Bagnaia’s Assen MotoGP form genuine
Ducati MotoGP boss Davide Tardozzi is hopeful for Pecco Bagnaia’s performance at the Dutch Grand Prix, noting improvements on Friday. Bagnaia, a double world champion, has faced challenges in the 2025 MotoGP season, lacking the front end feeling crucial for his riding style. Despite winning 11 races last year, he has only claimed one victory this year, leaving him 110 points behind in the championship. Bagnaia displayed competitiveness during practice and qualifying at Assen, sparking optimism within the team. While Bagnaia has shown promise, it remains to be seen if Ducati can address his struggles in sprint races, particularly regarding the GP25’s performance with the sprint fuel tank.
