Simon's take on Bagnaia's first proper 2025 battle with Marquez
Added 2025-03-29 23:28:56 +0000 UTCWe finally saw Pecco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez wheel to wheel as Ducati team-mates on lap one of the Austin sprint... but it didn't last long.
Simon thinks Bagnaia has plenty of reason to be encouraged, though. Here he is from the Austin paddock giving his take for The Race Members' Club on Patreon, fresh from hearing from Bagnaia.

You are being positive. The fact that once again he can’t beat the satellite bike is NOT a positive.

2025-03-30 06:20:27 +0000 UTCGreat insights. Do you think Pecco takes more positives away from that race due to his first lap performance… or is it more damaging for him to see Marc recover so quickly from the near high side and ride away from him? Btw, great hearing your commentary over the tracks PA system today. Very cool!
