Luca Marini had different expectations but says ‘bravo’ to Marco Bezzecchi

Marini’s words after the Termas de Rio Hondo race

If for Marco Bezzecchi it was a Sunday to frame with his first historic victory in the premier class, it did not go as well for teammate Luca Marini, who finished the race in eighth place. Starting from seventh place, after yesterday’s excellent result (third in the Sprint Race ed), he was unable to repeat himself on the long run. He closes in any case in the points zone, satisfied with the work done on the Argentine track and ready to return to the track in the USA in two weeks.

The centaur of the Mooney VR46 Racing Team spoke to official channels this way, “It was not the race I was hoping for after yesterday’s Sprint. I’m sorry, I wasn’t fast, I lacked grip and I couldn’t defend myself. I tried not to lose too much ground, I managed the tire behind as I could, but I didn’t have any. In these cases it is still important to bring home points and gain experience. Congratulations to Marco and the whole team. He made the difference: strong in the warm up and good at getting to the front right away.”
