🛑 Pecco Bagnaia Breaks Silence on Ducati After Spanish GP! Marquez Responds to Pecco’ Mocking His Crash
Reigning MotoGP champion Pecco Bagnaia has finally broken his post-Spanish Grand Prix silence, offering his perspective on a challenging weekend for the Ducati factory team. While Bagnaia himself struggled to match his usual pace, his teammate Marc Márquez suffered a dramatic crash while chasing the Italian. Adding a layer of intrigue to the situation, Márquez has reportedly responded to comments made by Bagnaia that some have interpreted as subtly mocking his race-ending incident.
Bagnaia’s statements, made during a team debrief and later relayed through select media outlets, focused on the unexpected difficulties both factory Ducati riders faced during the Jerez race. While acknowledging Márquez’s strong early pace, Bagnaia alluded to potential setup issues or the demanding nature of the track contributing to both his own struggles and Márquez’s eventual fall. However, some keen observers noted a certain undertone in Bagnaia’s remarks, suggesting a hint of irony or even a veiled jab directed at his teammate’s aggressive push that ultimately ended in the gravel trap.
It appears these subtle undertones did not go unnoticed by Marc Márquez. While the eight-time world champion has yet to issue a lengthy public statement, sources close to his camp indicate a brief but pointed response to Bagnaia’s perceived mockery. Reportedly, when asked about Bagnaia’s comments, Márquez simply offered a wry smile and a short retort along the lines of, “At least I was leading before I crashed. Some people just followed.” This thinly veiled jab back at Bagnaia’s own struggles to keep pace has only added fuel to the already simmering intra-team rivalry at Ducati.
The dynamic between Bagnaia and Márquez is becoming an increasingly captivating subplot of the 2025 MotoGP season. While both riders are undoubtedly aiming for championship glory aboard the same machinery, their contrasting experiences at the Spanish Grand Prix and the subsequent verbal sparring suggest a potentially tense atmosphere within the Ducati garage. Fans will be eagerly watching the upcoming races to see if this budding rivalry translates into more on-track battles and further off-track exchanges, with the subtle digs and pointed remarks only adding to the drama of the premier motorcycle racing series.
