Both Marc Marquez and Pecco Bagnaia had problems on Saturday at Silverstone. Their different attitudes to fixing them were telling
Pecco Bagnaia attributed his challenging Saturday performance at the British Grand Prix to handling and tire wear issues on his Ducati MotoGP bike which caused him to drop from third place to finish sixth. Despite currently holding third place in the standings during the seventh round of the 2025 season, Bagnaia is 56 points behind teammate Marc Marquez and 37 points behind Alex Marquez. Bagnaia and Marquez faced different challenges at Silverstone, with Marc qualifying fourth but showing a different approach in resolving issues.
Bagnaia, who has only won one grand prix this season compared to Marquez’s multiple victories, struggled with tire degradation during the 10-lap race, ultimately being overtaken by competitors due to his bike’s turning difficulties. Bagnaia expressed uncertainty if the problem would improve for Sunday’s race and highlighted that changing to a medium front tire would not address the turning issue. Despite the ongoing struggles, Bagnaia emphasized the team’s collective effort to address and solve the challenges they face during the season. Both Bagnaia and Marquez found some solace in the fact that Marquez faced similar difficulties during Saturday’s race, potentially leading to a better understanding of their shared issues and how to address them moving forward.
