| Marc Marquez and Pecco Bagnaia Struggle at British MotoGP: Trouble Brewing Inside Ducati? |
The British MotoGP at Silverstone may have delivered podiums for Ducati, but behind the scenes, things weren't nearly as smooth. Marc Marquez grabbed second in the sprint race and third in the main event, but that didn’t stop the tension from rising inside the Ducati garage.
Marquez Admits Struggling With the GP25
In the Inside Ducati series, a revealing moment was caught on camera. During a post-sprint technical debrief, Marquez was gently called out for a common riding mistake—he was possibly opening the throttle too early when exiting corners, which affected his grip.
But what really stood out was Marquez’s honest and unfiltered reaction. No excuses, just pure transparency. “This weekend, I wasn’t very specific in my feedback,” he admitted. Even when his engineers tried to soften the situation, Marquez held firm: “No, it’s just how it is. I didn’t have the right feeling with the bike. Sometimes you have weekends like that.”
Marquez Crashes, Admits He Was Pushing Too Hard
In the main race the next day, things got worse. Marquez crashed in the opening laps. Fortunately, a red flag allowed him to rejoin the race. Back in the garage, he kept it real once again: “I was pushing too hard,” he confessed.
It's a rare sight to see a rider of his caliber show such raw honesty, and it gives fans a real glimpse into just how challenging MotoGP can be—even for an 8-time world champion.
Bagnaia’s Woes Continue: “I Just Don’t Have Confidence”
Marquez isn't the only one struggling. Pecco Bagnaia, Ducati’s two-time world champ, also had a weekend to forget. After finishing sixth in the sprint and crashing during the main race, his frustration came to the surface.
Talking to his crew chief, Cristian Gabarrini, Bagnaia expressed deep concern. “When I brake and enter the corner, I still feel really vulnerable on the front end,” he said. Gabarrini tried to clarify, but Bagnaia’s response said it all: “I brake, I enter… but I just don’t have any confidence.”
Ducati Boss Sounds the Alarm
Even Ducati General Manager Gigi Dall’Igna admitted there’s trouble under the surface. After the race, he urged the entire team to work harder and help Bagnaia get back to the level that made him a world champion. Ducati might be topping the standings, but Dall’Igna warned that the team’s current balance is “very fragile.”
Great Results, But Real Problems
On paper, Ducati is still delivering strong results. But behind the podium smiles, there are serious issues brewing—especially with their top riders struggling to connect with the GP25.
The season is far from over, but if these problems aren't addressed soon, Ducati’s dominance could be at risk. Can they pull things together before it’s too late? Stay tuned—MotoGP drama is far from over.
