Pecco Bagnaia urged to work with sports psychologist by MotoGP legend
Three-time MotoGP world champion Jorge Lorenzo believes Pecco Bagnaia should work with a sports psychologist to overcome his 2025 performance struggles where he was inconsistent and lacked confidence in his Ducati. Bagnaia, who won just twice and ended up 257 points behind Marquez, needs to regain his positivity and enthusiasm, according to Lorenzo. The former champion suggests Bagnaia should seek external help like working with a sports psychologist or mentors such as Valentino Rossi to improve his mental approach to racing. Lorenzo emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and addressing any issues affecting performance to regain self-confidence, drawing parallels with other riders like Andrea Dovizioso who benefitted from psychological support. Ultimately, the advice is to stay humble, seek assistance, and be open to making positive changes to mindset for improved performance in the sport.
