Marco Bezzecchi jokes with Pecco Bagnaia
The words of Marco Bezzecchi
Marco Bezzecchi, happy for the second place in Misano, joked about the contact with Bagnaia at the start: "Pecco è a bast…o becauseé he did not want to admit the carenata, but in the end it fits. Everyone does his own thing, the’entry was there. I joke with Pecco and break his boxes, but in his shoes I would have done the same. I tried to overtake Jorge at Turn 2, but I couldn’t do it and I had to brake a little more. When I braked he was on my right and è managed to throw it in harder: he practically went around me and he always breaks my balls because he’s overtaking me on the outside, but sooner or later…", he concluded, always smiling.
"Pecco è the rider who copes best with the ‘Sunset’ è the strongest ever lì and I knew he could hang up, but not knowing how far away he was I tried to take off as much as I could. Having been a bit’ of laps behind them the tire was hot and I suffered a big front-lock. Remembering Silverstone I told myself to let off the brake and went a little bit’ wide and unfortunately Pecco passed me right back. It would have been a good opportunity to be able to follow Jorge and fight for first position. Unfortunately, I made this mistake and I think that is the only thing I have to recriminate about this race, but by now it è went like this and I am sorry, I made a mistake“.
"Hard to explain the fatigue, but è it was hard. At’the beginning with the adrenaline of the race I felt better than yesterday, I knew I was going to be in pain so I was mentally prepared for’later, when I was behind Pecco and Jorge, I couldn’t get past them and I started to struggle with the front. The bike è became more physical and I started to suffer more, so I did some elastic. When I was able to pass Pecco I got fresh air and despite the pain the bike started working great. At that point I managed to get away from Pecco, però unfortunately Jorge was too far away. I am sorry becauseé I wanted to give with all my heart a victory to the fans and my team – concluded Bezzecchi – but è it was the best I could do. Moreù than that; unfortunately I could not. Without pain? I have a hard time imagining how it would have gone".
