Ducati's Francesco Bagnaia finished 17th in the British GP sprint and retired after crashing on lap 7 of Sunday's race. He said he's changed setup and electronics but 'the problem isn't that — from the first race of the season I don't have any grip, completely zero,' dropping to 8th in the standings. Ducati has prioritized signing Pedro Acosta over extending Bagnaia, who is already set to join Aprilia next season.

Watching corner-entry to exit, that was a completely different rider from last year's braking. Last year it was the front giving him trouble; this year the rear just won't grip, full stop — that points to something in the bike, not the setup sheet. The paddock's probably already shifted its mood toward the Acosta era.

The fresh start at Aprilia is actually starting to excite me.

Hard to believe a champion from two years back has fallen this far.

Retiring is rough — 17th and finishing would've been one thing.

'Zero grip' has the same ring as last year's excuses.

Prioritizing Acosta basically tells you the answer already.
