Marco Bezzecchi optimistic for Japan
The words of Marco Bezzecchi
Marco Bezzecchi lands in Japan for the 14th race of the season after collecting in India pole position, fastest lap and victory in Sunday’s GP riding the Ducati Desmosedici GP of the Mooney VR46 Racing Team.
A moment of grace for Marco who defends P3 in the overall with 248 points (P2 among the Teams with 383 points ed) on a track, the Japanese one, where he achieved his first podium in the World Championship in 2017 in Moto3. The ’objective è to fight for top positions and close in the best possible way this first double trip to Asia.
Stop instead for Luca Marini who will not be replaced for this GP. Luca è landed at the’Marconi Airport in Bologna in the early afternoon of last Sunday and immediately reached the’Operating Unit of Orthopedics and Traumatology at UNIMORE. The’team coordinated by Professor Porcellini performed the’surgery to reduce the injury to the left clavicle, a consequence of the fall in Saturday’s Sprint at Buddh International Circuit. The’operation, which lasted an hour and a half, was successful and Luca will be able to start the rehabilitation process in the coming days.
"I really like Japan, the fans, the’atmosphere and the Twin Ring track in Motegi, one of my favorites – commented Bezzecchi -. I have always gone quite fast here, I scored my first podium in the World Championship in Moto3, and in general the feelings are positive. I came from a very solid weekend, I have a good feeling with the bike right now, I can and am competitive and consistent. I am very charged, but we have to continue to take care of all these aspects here in Motegi as well in order to be fighting in the group of the strongest and to have two good races".
