Francesco Bagnaia “humiliated” by latest MotoGP struggles: “I see no way out”

Francesco Bagnaia has expressed deep disappointment and a sense of being "humiliated" by his recent struggles in MotoGP, stating there appears to be no way out of his current predicament. The factory Ducati rider experienced a difficult weekend at MotorLand Aragon, failing to earn any points after finishing 11th in the sprint and crashing out of Sunday's race.

Bagnaia, who had previously shown signs of progress, failed to score a single point in two consecutive weekends following the championship's return to Silverstone. He explained that he gave his all to Ducati, trying his best in every situation, but despite his efforts, he couldn't improve his performance. Bagnaia acknowledged the lack of grip on his bike, attributing his struggles to an almost complete lack of rear grip, which he described as "completely zero."

He further lamented that he couldn't understand how his situation could remain unchanged despite his best efforts, especially when others seem to have found solutions. Bagnaia also mentioned that he had previously overcome similar doubts about his abilities before, during a test in Misano and a race in Japan, but he expressed uncertainty about whether he could replicate his dominant performance from last year at the remaining races.
