Marco Bezzecchi worse than he thought

The words of Marco Bezzecchi

Marco Bezzecchi cannot be satisfied with seventh place in Saturday’s sprint race.

“Already since yesterday I knew I was missing something on the race pace. We made a step forward today, but it was not enough. I struggled, more than I could have expected. Maybe with the hard in front I could have dared more and cornered better, especially in the second sector and been cleaner. Tomorrow with the medium behind maybe it will be a different story: the goal is to recover positions.”

After six titles won by Valentino Rossi in eight years it was the Spanish riders who took the lion’s share of the MotoGp world championship. From 2012 to 2020 only they have won, with Jorge Lorenzo a two-time world champion, Marc Marquez (6) and Joan Mir, triumphant in 2020 with his Suzuki.
