Pecco Bagnaia offered encouraging feedback on Ducati’s new MotoGP bike
Pecco Bagnaia has highlighted that the 2026 MotoGP Ducati has a different DNA compared to the previous bike he rode, but he believes it suits his riding style better than the 2025 version. Despite being a double world champion, he faced significant challenges with the GP25, which deviated too much from the Ducati bikes he had previously found success with. In the 2026 pre-season, Bagnaia has shown improved performance, with a strong showing at the Buriram MotoGP test where he finished fourth overall. While he acknowledges progress compared to the previous year, he admits to still lacking consistency in braking, which is an aspect he aims to enhance for the upcoming races. Despite encountering a minor issue with his bike during a race simulation, Bagnaia remains optimistic about his overall feelings and performance heading into the new season.
