Davide Tardozzi says Ducati has done all it can to the bike to make Bagnaia comfortable
Ducati MotoGP team manager Davide Tardozzi stated that they have made all efforts to ensure Pecco Bagnaia feels comfortable on the GP25 bike.
As the 2025 season is drawing to a close, Bagnaia faces the possibility of finishing fifth in the championship after a challenging Portuguese Grand Prix weekend.
Despite Bagnaia’s speed not being questioned, a lack of trust in the GP25 has caused difficulties, with him now 35 points behind third place in the standings.
Ducati has struggled to recreate the successful feeling Bagnaia had earlier in the season, with Tardozzi acknowledging they have done everything possible to improve the bike for him.
Bagnaia’s struggles have created tension within Ducati, especially with teammate Marc Marquez’s dominant performance this year.
Though Bagnaia feels improvements in his bike setup, he recognizes that he is not fully utilizing the Ducati’s potential on the grid and aims to find solutions for future races.
