This was by far the best season Marco Bezzecchi has had so far in MotoGP. The rider looked with a smile at what he was able to do on the track, not forgetting the shoulder injury in a title he was fighting for the top positions in the standings.
In statements to Manuel Pecino, in Motosan, the Italian, now from Pertamina Enduro VR46 MotoGP Team, was invited to give a grade to his season: ‘In my opinion, it has been a very good season. On a scale from 1 to 10, I give myself a 7.5 because I was fast, I won three races and a sprint and I made many podiums’.
Bezzecchi did not forget his misfortune, recalling the injury suffered: ‘Unfortunately, I suffered a shoulder injury, so in the last part of the season I was a little away from what I wanted to do. Otherwise, I would have given myself a higher score. Surely the collarbone injury didn’t help. I would say that in the three races after the injury, I had some problems in Indonesia, Australia, and Thailand, and in those three GPs, the shoulder got a little tired’.
He felt a little better afterwards, but he still wasn’t at his best: ‘On the other hand, in Qatar and Malaysia, the shoulder was better, although not at 100%, but during the race, I felt it much less. I didn’t have the strength I normally had, and unfortunately, that affected my driving a bit’.
