Trust toward the defending champion remains unchanged.

Pecco Bagnaia è crashed during the Grand Prix of India seeing Jorge Martin move much closer in the overall MotoGP standings. Despite this, però, according to Marco Melandri the conquest of the title should continue to see the Piedmontese of Ducati in the role of favorite.

"On paper Martin has reopened the championship, but I don’t believe it,” Melandri explained in a live Instagram. On the contrary, I expect that in the next races it will be him as if by magic to go a little bit more difficult. Bagnaia è fell because he probably took a change of asphalt, a pothole or something like that. Moreover, he faced that corner in third, while everyone, Bezzecchi, Martin, Quartararo, Marquez, did it in second".

There'è però another man who captured Melandri's attention and esteem. "Marco Bezzecchi è in a monstrous state of form. Once he è took the lead he never had any problems, Martin behind him on the other hand suffered much more. And then he has a driving style that is never sloppy, he looks like he’s going places. He goes like hell, while Martin and also Bagnaia have a moreù extreme" style, added the 2002 250 Class world champion.
