JAKARTA - Ducati's Francesco Bagnaia has not performed well during the 2025 MotoGP event so far. However, he is still trying to catch Dani Pedrosa's pole position record.
Bagnaia's performance this season has indeed decreased after becoming runner-up in the 2024 MotoGP. Most recently, he even suffered bad luck because he failed to secure the podium due to a leaky tire incident at the 2025 Malaysian MotoGP.
After the race in Sepang, Bagnaia dropped to fourth place in the 2025 MotoGP standings by collecting 286 points.
The incident was a crushing blow because Bagnaia was actually in the best possible moment after winning pole position and winning the 2025 Malaysian MotoGP Sprint Race.

Even so, the achievement in the 2025 Malaysian MotoGP pole position made Bagnaia pursue the MotoGP legend, Dani Pedrosa. You see, now there is no target that he wants to get considering that he is less competitive in the 2025 season.
Quoted from Motosan on Thursday, October 30, 2025, Bagnaia is currently ranked eighth as the rider with the most pole position. The Italian rider has collected 28 pole positions.
The note left Bagnaia just one point behind Kevin Schwantz with 29 pole positions. While Dani Pedrosa has 31 pole positions.
Casey Stoner, who won MotoGP for the first time with Ducati, has 39 pole positions, while Jorge Lorenzo collects 43 pole positions.
In third place, there is Valentino Rossi with 55 pole positions. Then, Mike Doohan was in second place with 58 pole positions.
The most pole position collectors in MotoGP currently still belong to Marc Marquez with 74 times.
Although only three are away from Pedrosa, Bagnaia will not be able to overtake the record of the Spaniard because the 2025 MotoGP only has two more races left, namely the Portuguese MotoGP and Valencia MotoGP.
