Pecco Bagnaia struggling since Silverstone crash at Aragon MotoGP

A rider who needs time to compose himself before a debrief is a rider carrying something beyond a technical problem. Bagnaia's admission that normal things feel difficult points to the psychological weight of a high-speed incident rather than a straightforward setup issue, and that distinction matters when you're defending a championship. Ducati can fix a bike, but the timeline for rebuilding a rider's instinctive confidence at the limit is far less predictable. Aragon is already an unforgiving circuit, and arriving there mentally compromised makes the gap between Bagnaia and his rivals harder to close than any data sheet would suggest.
