Pecco Bagnaia's 2025 MotoGP campaign has taken an unexpected turn, leaving fans and analysts alike perplexed. The two-time champion's performance at the Australian Grand Prix has raised questions about his true capabilities, with a peculiar contrast between his two Ducati Desmosedicis. Bagnaia's journey in Australia began with a glimmer of hope, as he managed to improve on his previous performance in Indonesia, securing a Q2 spot. However, this progress was achieved after discovering a puzzling issue with the two bikes, which were theoretically identical to each other and to the ones he used in Mandalika, where he crashed out of the race. Bagnaia's struggle lies in his braking performance, a challenge he faced throughout the season, but one that seemed to be mitigated by the fast and flowing nature of the Australian circuit. Despite finishing the day in a respectable ninth place, Bagnaia admitted that he didn't feel the same confidence as he did at Motegi, where he achieved a double win. The Italian's pace was inconsistent, with only one of his two bikes performing well, leaving him in a state of confusion and frustration. Bagnaia's situation is further complicated by the fact that the other bike, while not performing at its peak, is still competitive. He acknowledged that he isn't at his best, emphasizing that he cannot replicate the performance he showed in Japan. The team is working diligently to understand and resolve the issues, but the mystery of the inconsistent bikes remains. As Bagnaia prepares for the next race, the question on everyone's mind is: Can he find a solution and reclaim his championship form? The controversy surrounding Bagnaia's bikes and his performance has sparked discussions and debates among fans and analysts, leaving many curious to see how he will navigate this challenging phase in his career.
