BAGNAİA, REVEALED THE SECRET TO THE PODIUM AT MUGELLO: FINE-TUNED THE BALANCE
Francesco Bagnaia, the Italian star of MotoGP, made an unexpected turn at the Mugello Park Race and secured a place on the podium. Despite holding the lead for the first 10 laps, he was overtaken by Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi’s attacks, and then resisted Ai Ogura’s pressure in the final stages to secure third place. This victory was the result of Ducati’s critical adjustments to the GP26 motorcycle.
Race Developments and Technical Details
In the early part of the race, Bagnaia, the Ducati factory team rider, successfully maintained the lead for the first 10 laps.

We improved the balance by shifting the weight forward,” he stated.
