Overview

• Bagnaia ended his slump by reverting to older GP25 parts at the Misano test and then delivered pole and two wins at Motegi.
• Di Giannantonio finished 13th in both Motegi races and reported extreme, unexplained performance swings between sessions.
• Asked at Mandalika if he will get Bagnaia’s parts this weekend, Di Giannantonio said “we’ll see” and expects Ducati to supply the best package available.
• The parts believed to be involved include forks, a swingarm, a rear seat and possibly a ride-height device, though Bagnaia declined to detail the changes.
• Ducati riders share telemetry and Di Giannantonio says copying set-ups is not straightforward, with five rounds remaining and only 14 points separating him from fifth in the standings.
