VR46, Marco Bezzecchi still down: weekend to forget in Australia

Marco Bezzecchi: weekend to forget in Australia

Weekend to forget for Marco Bezzecchi at Phillip Island. In fact, after the bad fall on Saturday, which forced him to a long lap penalty for irresponsible driving, the centaur from Romagna, declared fit in the morning, è went down again in the Grand Prix of Australia.

Fourth on the grid and second at the first corner, in an attempt to recover after a penalty, the rider from Rimini fell when he was in seventh place. On the eve of the Thai GP next week in Buriram, he remains at 134 points in the overall standings (11th ed.).

"I don’t have that much to say, we had good potential, but we didn’t bring much home,” Bez admitted to the official Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team channels. It was two strong crashes, especially the one yesterday and I’m a little bit sore in my left shoulder. Today we could do well, despite the long lap, but then I made a mistake. I’m so sorry and I can’t wait to turn the page in Thailand".

"A pity Marco’s race: yesterday the bump è was really tough, but today he had all the cards to take a good satisfaction – added team manager Pablo Nieto -. After the penalty he tried to recover immediately, not to lose ground and he paid a bit’ perhaps the eagerness. He showed that è always more ù close to the strongest and must leave behind these days as soon as possible to return among the most ù competitive alreadyà in Thailand".
