Ducati riders’ issues with the GP25 assessed in comparison to red-hot ’24
Ducati is facing challenges in improving their MotoGP bike this season after their dominant performance last year.
Pramac’s Jorge Martin won the 2024 championship over factory rider Pecco Bagnaia, maintaining Ducati’s dominance.
However, at the recent Silverstone race, both Marc Marquez and Bagnaia seemed to struggle with the new GP25 bike for the first time.
Improving on the near-perfect package of the previous year has proven difficult for Ducati, with new 2025 parts not being well-received by the riders.
Bagnaia is facing difficulties transitioning from the GP24 to the GP25 without the ability to compare data from other riders who made the switch.
Meanwhile, Alex Marquez has unexpectedly excelled on the 2024 Ducati, highlighting the challenges Ducati faces in balancing performance with new developments.
