Francesco Bagnaia had a busy work schedule during the MotoGP test held yesterday in Misano. The Ducati rider was not only focused on solutions for the upcoming races but also tested elements aimed at improving the bike for the next year.
The 2022 and 2023 champion commented: ‘I worked a lot for 2025. I didn’t try the fairing; I know that [Jorge] Martín and [Enea] Bestia tried it, and they were happy. But I was very, very focused on different things, because our bike still needs something to be better’.
Although the new solution isn’t ready to race yet, Bagnaia expressed excitement: ‘Unluckly it’s something that at the moment we can’t bring already this season because they still have to develop a bit – and I’m speaking about the electronics side. But it’s a good thing; I think we have more margin to work, more margin with the acceleration, and it’s something good’.
That said, the Italian doesn’t completely rule out some updates for the upcoming races in Asia: ‘It was difficult to understand something in the test, because with used or new tyres, the lap time was similar. But I think it’s a good thing and I liked it. Maybe for the last races, for the overseas, we will have something that will help’.
