Ducati rider Pecco Bagnaia expressed the need to improve further despite his third-place finish at the 2025 MotoGP German Grand Prix, stating he still needs “two or three steps forward.”
Struggling in wet conditions on Saturday, Bagnaia had a remarkable recovery from 10th on the grid to secure third place in Sunday’s race at the Sachsenring.
