Misano: Marco Bezzecchi remains optimistic despite bad Sprint Race
The words of Marco Bezzecchi
It è ended in the worst way the Sprint Race of the San Marino GP for Marco Bezzecchi. The Pertamina Enduro VR46 centaur è was forced to retire after falling during the fifth lap when he was fighting for seventh position. To the team’s official channels, the number 72 analyzed his performance and expressed himself ahead of Sunday’s Grand Prix.
"Too bad we finished the day in the gravel, it could have been a very good Saturday. The start was not è a great start, but it was not so bad either, only that I è left the fork low, so at the first corner I was immediately passed by two or three riders" began the centaur of the VR46 team.
"I tried to make up ground, but I had a strange feeling on the front from the left side. I grazed the white line at Turn 2, lost the front and couldn’t do anything to avoid the fall. Tomorrow we will try to reset and do better. It will be very hard, but the top 5 è within our reach and the podium would be a dream. We must not give up, as weè are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel" added number 72.
"The factory Ducatis are lower and start harder, as well as the KTMs, so I was immediately flanked by Binder who caught me a moment unprepared. He moved me slightly to the left, so I had to brake, let off the brake a little bit and rebrake, only I è missed 1 millimeter of travel to unlock the lowerer, and in the end I had to do the first chicane and the 3 all low. I arrived at the 4 already’ a little bit detached, but to unlock it I had to detach like crazy, I arrived a little bit’ wide, I tried to hold on and Acosta passed me shortly after" commented Marco Bezzecchi.
It è didn’t go better for teammate Fabio Di Giannantonio, who finished the Sprint Race rather time due to a crash on the sixth lap: " We still have to see the data well, but I went long at turn 12, got some dirt and lost the front in the middle of the corner. There was nothing I could do, we were catching up. We made a change at the’last, the feeling was positive and I was keeping a good pace. Too bad, after the crash I tried to lift the bike and, for the adrenaline, I strained my shoulder, not the best for my physical condition. Let’s get back on the data, let’s try to make a good race in front of the home crowd" these are his words to the official channels of the VR46 team.
