5 minutes ago! Peppy Bagnaia sent the world into a frenzy after revealing that Ducati allowed Marc Márquez to demonstrate GP26, among other injustices he’s faced this season.
MotoGP was shaken to its core moments ago when Peccò Bagnaia publicly revealed that Ducati had granted Marc Márquez exclusive access to test the upcoming GP26 engine. Learing Bagnaia, the two-stroke world champion, was completely sidelined. In statements to the Italian media after the Dutch premiership, Bagnaia said, “I wasn’t even invited to the test. It’s as if I’m no longer part of his future.” The revelation caused outrage among fans and raised serious questions about internal politics and Ducati rider favoritism.
Bagnaia didn’t stop there . He listed a series of injustices he claims to have suffered during the 2025 season, including being denied key setup changes, receiving outdated data compared to Márquez, and being forced to compete with tire compounds he didn’t approve. “I’m not here to finish third,” he said, echoing a statement he made earlier in the season after being overtaken by Márquez at Mugello. Despite his loyalty to Ducati, Bagnaia is emotionally exhausted as he watches the championship.
The MotoGP paddock is in turmoil , with pundits suggesting Bagnaia could consider a move to Yamaha or Aprilia by 2026. Ducati’s decision to prioritize Márquez has caused friction within the team, with engineers divided in the development department. Meanwhile, Márquez continues to dominate, having won eight sprint races and five Grand Prix races this season. His ability to adapt to GP25, even joking he could win on “A Tractor,” has only deepened Bagnaia’s frustration.
As the season enters its final stretch , tensions among Ducati’s star riders threaten to explode. Bagnaia’s revelations have ignited a firestorm on social media, with fans demanding answers and transparency. It remains to be seen whether Ducati can repair the relationship or risk losing one of its most decorated riders. One thing is certain: Peccone Bagnaia’s voice has shattered the silence, and MotoGP will never see Ducati the same way again.
