Ducati Lenovo Team Manager Davide Tardozzi told Sky Sports that Marc Márquez could not avoid the accident that ended his race at Mandalika. The team faced a difficult day as both Márquez and Pecco Bagnaia failed to finish despite high expectations for the weekend.
Tardozzi expressed deep disappointment over Bagnaia's exit, as the rider had shown dominance throughout the practice sessions. The team plans to conduct a detailed analysis in Bologna to understand what went wrong on race day.
Bagnaia chose not to speak with reporters after the incident. Tardozzi said the rider was emotionally affected by the outcome and needed time to recover before the next race at Phillip Island.
The team manager defended the technical choices made for Bagnaia's motorcycle. He stated that no engine changes were made for the Japan Grand Prix and that differences between the GP24 and GP25 models remained minimal.
