Bagnaia says final MotoGP rounds with Ducati will be about surviving

Francesco Bagnaia says the last three rounds of the 2026 MotoGP season will be about surviving, with no solution yet in sight for his ongoing issues with Ducati's GP26 machine. The three-time world champion had high hopes for the Malaysian Grand Prix, having identified Sepang as his best opportunity to score a big result before leaving Ducati at the end of the season.

The Italian rider's remaining weeks with the Borgo Panigale manufacturer are now being counted down, with his focus shifting towards getting through the final races rather than chasing results.
