This was by far the best season that Marco Bezzecchi had so far in the championship. The rider looked with a smile to what he got to do on track, not forgetting the injury on his shoulder at a title he was battling for the top places in the standings.
Speaking to Manuel Pecino, on Motosan, the italian, now from Pertamina Enduro VR46 MotoGP Team was asked to give a score to his season, saying: ‘In my opinion it has been a very nice season. From 1 to 10 I give myself a 7.5 because I have been fast, won three races and one sprint and made a lot of podiums’.
Bezzecchi didn’t forget his misfortune, recalling the injury suffered: ‘Unfortunately I suffered a shoulder injury, so in the last part of the season I was a bit off what I wanted to do. Otherwise I would have given myself a higher score. For sure the collarbone injury didn’t help. I would say that the first three races after the injury, man it gave me some problems in Indonesia, Australia and Thailand and in these three GPs the shoulder got a bit fatigued’.
He felt a bit better afterwards, but was still not at his best: ‘On the other hand, in Qatar and Malaysia the shoulder was better, although not 100%, but while riding I noticed it a lot less. I didn’t have the strength I normally had and unfortunately this affected my riding a little bit’.
