Pecco Bagnaia came from 21st to seventh in the Catalan MotoGP
Pecco Bagnaia turned around a challenging MotoGP weekend at the Catalan Grand Prix, securing a decent Sunday result on his Ducati.
The 2025 season has not met the expectations of the two-time world champion on the factory Desmosedici, with only one grand prix win under his belt.
Currently trailing teammate Marc Marquez by 250 points after 15 rounds, Bagnaia is on the verge of being mathematically out of the title race.
Despite a rough patch post-summer break, Bagnaia’s performance at Barcelona showed promise with a strong rise from 21st to seventh during the race.
By altering the set-up and utilizing a different swingarm, Bagnaia gained better grip and improved confidence, setting a positive tone for future races.
