Marc Marquez “question mark” but Pecco Bagnaia “smiles” after testing
After the Aragon Grand Prix, where Marc Marquez won the race and Pecco Bagnaia finished third, both Ducati riders returned for Monday’s MotoGP test at the MotorLand.
During the test, Marquez and Bagnaia focused on evaluating the new fairing, intended for use at the upcoming Mugello round.
Ducati Lenovo Team Manager Davide Tardozzi noted differing emotions between the riders during the test, with Bagnaia showing positivity, while Marquez had some uncertainties due to his current bike setup being well-suited to him.
Tardozzi expressed relief at seeing Bagnaia bounce back from a streak of poor results and anticipated a strong showing from him at Mugello, a track where he triumphed previously.
Bagnaia, after testing the new aero package, acknowledged the need for further testing before deciding whether to use it at Mugello, citing both advantages and disadvantages.
Marquez, on the other hand, highlighted that his lap times were very close to the top, signaling the competitiveness he and Ducati maintained during the test session.
