Marc Márquez and Pecco Bagnaia on the same page: ‘Our comments were similar and that makes the engineers’ job easier’
Marc Márquez and Pecco Bagnaia are now side by side and as such are embarking on a new adventure as team partners and for the moment the first impact and feedback from both of them after the tests in Barcelona have been in agreement.
– The point is that I tested the complete 2025 package: the frame, engine and one other thing that’s different. We don’t know what’s different. Pecco [Bagnaia] was working in a slightly different way but the most important thing is that we both had very similar comments: same problems, same advantages and that makes life easier for the engineers.
Márquez focused more on the new bike but had a brief foray with the bike from the year that has now ended: ‘I spent most of the day with the 2025 bike from the first outing, I didn’t test the 2023 bike, only the 2025. I tested the 2024 bike twice and it was a bit different, just to reconfirm a few things’.
