Pecco Bagnaia has not had a good MotoGP campaign in 2025 – but Friday at the Hungarian Grand Prix still looked out of step even with his generally diminished performance this year
Pecco Bagnaia’s MotoGP campaign in 2025 has not been going well, as he struggled during the Hungarian Grand Prix on Friday, failing to secure a spot in Q2 even with a late push.
Despite being the fastest Ducati rider when testing the GP25 earlier at Balaton Park, he still faces challenges adapting to the new bike compared to last year’s Ducati.
Bagnaia acknowledged his struggles with braking and turning on the GP25, issues that have persisted over the past eight months.
While he aims to reach the top 10 and fight for wins, his focus for now is on securing a place in the top 10 and making incremental progress with his team.
Bagnaia will have another shot at Q1 tomorrow after making improvements during Friday’s practice sessions, but the overall outlook remains cautious as he works to unlock the full potential of the GP25.
