Pecco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez They are now officially colleagues at Ducati. In the Montmeló tests, they tested the first “embryo” of the GP25which still needs to be developed. And the Italian was delighted with what he tried. So much so that he said the difference with the bike he rode this year, the 24, “It’s huge.”
“It must be said that today we tried a lot of things, and that “The GP25 we have is a good basis to start developing and improving it.”declares this year’s runner-up in statements to ‘Motorsport’.
“Our engineers and team will work hard this winter, as we need to improve upon the base we tested. Fortunately, Marc Márquez and I had the same sensations behind the wheeland it is very important to go in the same direction of development. “It’s fantastic,” Pecco says.
And he talks about this “huge difference”: “The difference between the 2024 bike and the 2025 bike is already hugeand I think we won’t have a big step forward for testing in Malaysia, because we already noticed the step here, but we need to fix it a little. In addition, we have to adapt the settings of the new bike a little.”
“I have progressed a lot this year with the GP24 in terms of braking. We will have to try to go in the same direction. But the 2025 bike has very good stability in fast corners, and I like that, and also with worn tires. “That’s good. And the engine is very powerful and fast. Normally we start at this point with the new bike and we have to do some work, but the starting point is pretty good and I’m happy,” he said.
These are the clues that Bagnaia gave to Marc, his already companion. A titanic battle is expected for the MotoGP world championship. Two of the best riders on the grid with the best bike… by far.
