Pecco Bagnaia had to ‘remove traction control’ to be faster in Czech MotoGP
Ducati’s Pecco Bagnaia had to remove traction control from his bike to find late speed in the MotoGP Czech Grand Prix and went from pole to fourth place. Despite securing the first pole of the 2025 season, he faced challenges in both races at Brno. An electrical glitch caused a seventh-place finish in the sprint, and he dropped from leading into the first corner to finishing fourth in the grand prix. Bagnaia was overtaken by Bezzecchi, Marquez, and Acosta within three laps, but a late rally allowed him to challenge for the podium. Braking troubles plagued him, leading him to remove traction control as a solution for more speed in the race. Bagnaia remains focused on understanding and improving his performance, especially in braking, as he is 168 points behind the championship leader and aiming for a strong second half of the season.
