Marco Bezzecchi had in 2023 his best season in MotoGP so far, finishing the year in third overall. However, the (now) Pertamina Enduro VR46 MotoGP Team, didn’t even the latest version of the Desmosedici, which enhances his value as a rider.
Asked by Manuel Pecino about the performance of his GP22, compared to that of 23 of main highlights in the championship – Pecco Bagnaia and Jorge Martín – the rider told Motosan: ‘Let’s say in braking at the end the bike is quite similar, it’s not too different. They manage to have a little bit more grip, a little bit more traction and they have some new devices and for the exit they are a little bit stronger as well’.
Still, the feeling about the real differences between the two bikes aren’t exactly a certainty: ‘But you know, without testing it, it’s difficult to know for sure what the differences are’.
Bezzecchi got to win three races this year: the sunday races at Argentina and India, and the Sprint race at the Netherlands.
