The year 2025 will be the most important year for Pecco Bagnaia, from a sports aspect.
An uncomfortable figure like Marc Marquez will be present in his garage.
Marc definitely won't have his back like a faithful squire, but he'll do everything to beat him and earn crown number nine, therefore, joining Valentino Rosso.
And it's precisely his future teammate who was chosen by the Piedmontese rider as a source of inspiration for how best to deal with defeat.
"I'm still young, and I think I have between eight and ten years of career ahead of me.
The goal is to be fast and strong enough to increase the number of titles," Motorsport.com wrote.
Taking stock of his 2024, the rider from Chivasso rejected any negative feedback, citing the rider from Cervera to argue his point.
"I learned from the mistakes that lost me the title.
If we look at the beginning of Marc's career, he won two consecutive championships, while he lost the third in 2015 and then started winning again in the following year, taking home four more, so you never know," he said.
In spite of a determined and strong-willed attitude, the 27-year-old didn't hide the fact that he suffered at times, however, not watching his rival Jorge Martin rack up Sprint Race wins but rather someone from another sport.
"It was hard to see Verstappen get his fourth World Championship," he confessed. "
However, I can't complain. 2024 was fantastic for Ducati, and we should be proud of that, yet those images made me think that I too could've reached that number.
Anyway, I want to live it as an opportunity, considering that I know why we lost and that makes a difference," he concluded.
