Pecco Bagnaia breaks silence about Ducati after the GP of Spain! Márquez responds to Pecco ‘mocking his accident’
The current MotoGP champion, Pecco Bagnaia, finally broke his silence after the Spain Award and offered his perspective on a difficult weekend for the Ducati factory team. While Bagnaia himself struggled to maintain his usual rhythm, his teammate Marc Márquez suffered a spectacular fall while chasing Italian. To add more intrigue to the situation, Márquez would have responded to the comments made by Bagnaia that some interpreted as a subtle mockery to their incident at the end of the race.
Bagnaia’s statements, made during an informative session of the team and subsequently disseminated to selected media, focused on the unexpected difficulties that the two Ducati pilots faced during Jerez’s career. Although he recognized the strong initial rhythm of Márquez, Bagnaia hinted possible configuration problems or the demanding nature of the track that contributed both to his own problems and the eventual accident of Márquez. However, some attentive observers noticed a certain nuance in the statements of Bagnaia, suggesting a touch of irony or even a veiled blow to the aggressive impulse of their teammate who finally ended in the gravel trap.
It seems that these subtle nuances did not go unnoticed by Marc Márquez. Although the eight times world champion has not yet published an extensive public statement, sources close to their environment indicate a brief but concise response to the perceived mockery of Bagnaia. As reported, when asked about Bagnaia’s comment, Márquez simply offered an ironic smile and a short answer like “at least was on his way before crashing me. Some people simply followed me.” This attack barely veiled at Bagnaia’s own difficulties to maintain rhythm only added firewood to the fire of the already latent internal rivalry of the Ducati team.
The dynamics between Bagnaia and Márquez is becoming an increasingly convincing sub -branch of the MotoGP season. Although both pilots undoubtedly aspire to the glory of the championship aboard the same motorcycle, their contrasting experiences in the Spain Grand Prix and the subsequent verbal exchange suggest a potentially tense atmosphere in the Ducati garage. Fans will enthusiastically watch the next races to see if this incipient rivalry translates into more battles on the track and more exchanges outside it, with indirect subtle and scathing comments that only add to the drama of the main series of motorcycle races.
