Pecco Bagnaia has been warned that the “magic feeling” he craves to battle 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez doesn’t exist.

Bagnaia is desperately hoping to arrest his inferiority to factory Ducati teammate Marquez at thi🌼s weekend’s Americas M✨otoGP in Texas.

Unfortunately for Bagnai꧅a, the circuit is among th🐷e favourites of the mighty Marquez.

In Bagnaia’s strife 𝕴he appea🤪red to hint about returning to a 2024 spec, but this week has clarified those comments, insisting he is only chasing the same feeling as last year, not the same bike.

Uncertainty ha🃏s been picked up in Bagnai🥃a’s predicament.

“It’s really clear to see - he’s looking for theꩵ feeling that he had last year,” TNT Sports’ Neil Hodgson commented in Te𒐪xas.

“But he’s riding to that limit now. The problem is that his teammate is 0.3s f🐼aster.

“So this magical feeling d🍒oesn’t exist. The reality is he’s go🐻t the feeling now, but he needs to find 0.3s.

“He can’t reach it, so now he’s questioning himself𓂃. This is what happens wꦺhen you get a faster teammate. It’s the psychology of racing.”

Sylvain Guintoli said about Bagnaꦛia: “He seems like hisꦛ riding is off. Because he’s under pressure, because he’s got a super fast teammate and Alex Marquez is putting pressure on.

“Thatඣ will definitely be a lo🎀t of pressure. If you’re in the factory team and you are beaten by your teammate you can step back, learn, try to come back.

“But when you get beaten by a satellite rider? It’s a different story. That’s real💞ly not good for the ego or the🅺 self-confidence.

“But Pecco never starts seasons well. He wil𓆉l come strong in🗹 Qatar and in Europe.

“For now? It’s damaged limitations.”

Marquez has sensatioౠnally won the first four races of 2025 across the first two rounds in Thailand and Argentina.

He has a huge chance to ♔add further glory in Texas, a venue where he ha💜s previously dominated in his Honda heyday.

His adaptation to a bike which Bagnaia should have more experience of has been cited as key battleground in the psychological✱ w▨arfare.

“Marc was racing the🧜 ‘23 Ducati last year, and we knew the ‘24 was a big step in the right direction,” Hodgson explaܫined.

“The ‘25 is not a big step. So essentially they areꦗ riding the ‘24. That’s Pecco’s bike, which Pecco rode last year, he has all the information, while Marc was ri🥀ding the ‘23.

“Unfortunately, the 🌠reality is, with what we’ve learned over the years🐷, is that [Marquez] is special.

“What do you do? Don’t pan🌠ic, don’t reinvent the wheel.”
