| Pecco Bagnaia Receives Custom Ducati Flat Track Bike Amid MotoGP 2025 Challenges. |
In a move that could help turn his MotoGP season around, Pecco Bagnaia has received a special gift from Ducati—a fully customized Desmo450 MX flat track motorcycle designed to boost his training.
This “one-of-a-kind” machine is equipped with a dedicated suspension system and a unique wheel kit, tailor-made for flat track conditions. It’s a serious upgrade for Bagnaia, especially as he continues training at Valentino Rossi’s ranch in Tavullia, a famous hotspot for off-season and mid-season rider preparation.
With this new bike, Bagnaia will now train using top-tier Ducati engineering, built specifically to sharpen his riding skills and boost his confidence. All eyes are now on the next VR46 Ranch session—fans and rivals alike are eager to see what this bike can do in the hands of the reigning world champion.
A Tough Season So Far for the Defending Champ
The 2025 MotoGP season hasn’t been smooth sailing for Bagnaia. He’s been struggling to adapt to the latest Ducati factory bike (2025 spec), which ironically seems to be working just fine for his new teammate, Marc Marquez.
Even more surprising, Alex Marquez—riding a year-old Ducati with Gresini Racing—is outperforming Bagnaia on several occasions. The numbers don’t lie: Bagnaia currently sits 126 points behind Marc Marquez, who leads the championship standings, and 58 points behind Alex Marquez, who’s holding strong in second place.
Still, there are glimmers of hope. At the recent Dutch Grand Prix in Assen, Bagnaia managed to get back on the podium, a result that may help rebuild his momentum for the rest of the season.
Next up is Sachsenring, a track notoriously favorable to Marc Marquez. It’s a place where Bagnaia will need every ounce of skill, focus, and confidence—perhaps with help from his new flat track training—to close the gap and remind everyone why he’s still a title contender.
Will this custom Ducati flat track bike be the secret weapon Bagnaia needs to fight back in the 2025 MotoGP championship? Time will tell, but fans are certainly watching closely.
