MotoGP’s official website has released a documentary about Marc Marquez’s 2025 title bid, ‘All in Red’.
One of the themes is the internal dynamic in Ducati, which was initially supposed to be frozen. It quickly became clear that it was Francesco Bagnaia It was no match for Marquez on the GP25, creating the ultimate contrast in the garage.
Márquez joined the world championship winning 11 of his 18 Grands Prix, leaving Bagnaia with his relationship with the team in serious doubt and serious doubt over his future.

In the year It was baffling that the rider, who won the world championships in 2022 and 2023, pulled out before taking the 2024 title race to the wire. Bagnaia simply reported a loss of ‘feeling’, however Ducati I could not find medicine.
‘I don’t know what else to do,’ David Tardozzi told Ducati staff about Francesco Bagnaia.
In a clip from Documentary filmDucati team manager David Tardozi He told his colleague that he ‘didn’t get it’ what was happening to Bagnaya. He felt he had explored all solutions.
Bagnaia has scored seven podiums in the first 11 races, although Ducati will admit that he is not that low given Marquez’s dominance. He finished in the top three once before the end of the season – a previously unthinkable streak.
This streak was only interrupted by an inexplicable victory in Japan, which saw him finish fifth in the championship. He was overtaken by every Ducati rider between the Czech GP and the end of the season.

He goes to the loop… the other Ducatis are all there. He is the only one.
If Francesco Bagnaia leaves Ducati, where will he go?
Although the knight himself insists that he wants to stay, Ducati may not renew Bagnayan’s contract.. In the year It’s clear that the events of 2025 have caused Tardozzi and his team real anxiety.

Yamaha and Honda are interested in Bagnaia. If he is available, and Aprilia have been linked with uncertainty over George Martin’s future this week.
The Bagnaia rider’s market share remains intact, then, even if Ducati is considering other options.
At least they could delay the decision until the end of the test, which would give a clearer picture of his 2026 prospects.
