Francesco Bagnaia left 13th in the Hungarian MotoGP Sprint, big change “could represent a good starting point”.
Francesco Bagnaia faced challenges at the Balaton Park circuit in Hungary, struggling with braking and corner entry issues that have haunted him throughout the 2025 MotoGP season. Despite starting 15th, Bagnaia finished the Sprint race in 13th, as Marc Marquez continued his winning streak with a dominant victory. Bagnaia acknowledged the difficulties but expressed confidence in finding solutions with the team. Despite opting for a major set-up change in the Sprint, Bagnaia believes it could be a positive step forward for the race. Alex Marquez, Bagnaia’s championship rival, also had a tough day but maintained a significant points lead over the Ducati rider. Both riders will coincidentally start side by side in the upcoming race due to a grid penalty for Marquez.
