The Ducati rider returns to talk about the past season of the MotoGP, laying bare his emotions: here’s what he said.
“GOFREE – Under the Helmet”, the new series on Pecco Bagnaia, is now available on YouTube. In the first episode, number 63 reflects again on the missed title from last season and the lessons he learned from that disappointment.
As the rider himself admits, the process of coming to terms with that defeat will take quite a long time—he even mentions in the documentary that it could take years. However, mistakes can be learned from, and Pecco worked throughout the winter to understand his errors and prepare for 2025.
Pecco Bagnaia’s words:
Losing that world championship had a significant impact on the Chivasso rider, who reflected on the often ruthless dynamics of MotoGP: “I believe the biggest lesson is that you can’t fall behind, you always have to keep up, and that means growing up earlier.
In the end, when you arrive in Moto3, you’re 16 years old (at least I was), and you’re forced to grow up sooner and mature faster: you spend your days with older and more experienced people, who have 20 or 30 years of experience under their belts, and they don’t want to wait for you. They want results, and they want them fast. So, it becomes a very harsh sport, where if you’re fast, everyone praises you, but if you’re slow, no one notices you.”
