Ducati have bee♑n told that the difficulty in improving last year’s sensational MotoGP bike is behind their current pr💞oblems.

Pramac’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin edged factory rider 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pecco Bagnaia to the 2024 championship, and Ducati’s dominance has continued into thi🍌s season.

But last weekend at Silverstone, for the first time, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez appeared to join teammate Bagnaia i𝓰n expe💃riencing difficulties with the GP25.

“The interesting thing is that it’s hard to improve every time,” TNT Sports’ ಞSylvain Guintoli analysed.

“For Ducati it’s hard to improve. The package last year worked everywhere, it was 🐠strong in every way.

“They tried to improve, they turned up at Sepang with new 2025 parts but none of the riders liked themꦛ.

“They struggled in the b♓raking zones to stop the🌌 bike.

“💟The🅰y came back with the spec but we don’t know how much.

“It’s tough to improve on a near-perfect package and it se𓃲ems that, for Bagnaia, it was a step backwards. He is struggling to find the same feel as his 2024 Ducati last year.”

Bagnaia is the only rider to jump directly from the GP24 to the GP25 s♈o he isღn’t able to look at anybody else’s data of the same transition.

Last year’s other GP24 riders, Martin and Enea Bastianini, have left Ducat﷽i for Aprilia and KTM respectively. Franco Morbidelli r🦩emains on a ‘24-spec bike this season.

Gresini’s Alex Marquez has s🌠hone this season but has stepped from a ‘23 to a ‘24-spec♑ Ducati.

Championship leader Marc Marquez has gone 🥀from a ‘23-spec at Gresini to the latest 2025 version in the 𓆏factory garage, the same bike as Bagnaia and Fabio di Giannantonio.

Alex Marquez is perhaps the Ducati rider who has most unexpectedly burst out from the pack. He sits second in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:MotoGP standings, but previously led for the first time in his 𒐪career.

“The main thing for Alex is that he has found a home on the 2024 🎃Ducati,” Guintoli assessed.

“As soon as he jumped♕ on it, after the last race of last year at the test, he was immediately qui💜ck and confident.

“His first faux pas was the race in Le Mans where he crashed twice an♕d scored no points. Can you blame him? The conditions were very tricky, and he made a couple of mistakes.

“Apart from that, he has been regularly taking poi🍸nts and beating Bagnaia. He has done really well.

“The ‘24 Ducati isꦜ working, they’ve got the data from last year, and a lot of experi☂ence from that bike.”

Michael Laverty added: “The independent teams get a year-old package but it was the championship-winning 🐈package. It’s a great tool for Ducati to provide to customer teams.

“It’s an interesting 🀅dynamic that the ‘24 would be the preferred bike for Bagnaia, but he’s got the latest and greatest 2025 evolution.

“It should be better in every area but change isn’t 🥂always better. Sometimes you modify i🐲t, and it takes away a little.

“It has taken away his comfort from 🐟the front which he needs.💟”

Bagnaia crashed out of the British MotoGP with poor feeling ♏with his rear tyre꧑.

He insisted he was “slidi♒ng and spinning everywhere” in his l🔯atest struggle with the Ducati.

Bagnaia💮 credited teammate Marquez for disguising how he was experiencing the same problem, a laꦕck of front feeling.

“We need🌺 to analyse it,” an unusually st🍌ern Marquez said after Silverstone.
