The Japanese Grand Prix Sprint at Motegi left the Borgo Panigale squad with plenty to analyze after severe rear tyre wear on Francesco Bagnaia's machine sparked intense debate in the paddock. While Marc Marquez delivered a stellar performance to fly the flag for Ducati, the alarming state of the reigning champion's rubber raised critical questions about race pace degradation.
Addressing the post-race complaints, Ducati Corse General Manager Luigi Dall'Igna opted for a methodical approach, stating he needs to review telemetry before making any definitive judgments. He noted that tyre degradation was an anticipated variable this weekend, with multiple riders across different manufacturers already reporting minor grip issues during practice sessions.
However, Dall'Igna conceded that Bagnaia's tyre degradation looked particularly severe compared to other Desmosedici machines on the grid. He explained that such discrepancies usually stem from a combination of aggressive riding styles and specific motorcycle set-up choices that directly influence how the rubber interacts with the asphalt over race distance.
Meanwhile, Marquez's flawless charge to the front provided a much-needed boost for the factory, significantly closing the gap in the championship standings against Jorge Martin. With the title fight heating up, understanding the technical root cause of Bagnaia's tyre woes will be paramount as the team heads into the main Grand Prix.
