Ducati MotoGP factory riders Marc Marquez and Pecco Bagnaia had their Czech Grand Prix sprint rides compromised by the threat of a tyre pressure penalty – but in two completely different ways
Ducati MotoGP factory riders Marc Marquez and Pecco Bagnaia experienced different challenges related to tyre pressure penalties at the Czech Grand Prix.
Both riders deliberately dropped back during the race to increase front tyre pressure, as non-compliance would lead to an eight-second penalty.
Marquez ultimately won the race after managing his strategy effectively, while Bagnaia struggled and finished in seventh place.
Bagnaia later discovered that there was an issue with his dashboard, causing him to misinterpret the tyre pressure situation.
Marquez was initially investigated post-race for tyre pressure concerns but, along with two other riders, was ultimately cleared due to an error in the race direction warning system.
