One of the most important aspects in the current MotoGP is timing and the ‘intensity’ of braking. Marco Bezzecchi stood out and his third place in the championship shows just that, with the Italian revealing one of his main secrets, as well as a very specific rider who has helped him a lot in recent years, but not only.
The Pertamina Enduro VR46 MotoGP Team rider spoke with Manuel Pecino, quoted on the Motosan website, about how he improved his braking, with the help of none other than… Pecco Bagnaia: ‘I became good at braking and followed many indications from Bagnaia in the last two and a half years to try to learn how to exploit the bike in braking, because our Ducati is very strong there and that’s why I managed to improve, this is perhaps a point that is very good’.
As Ducati shares the data, Bezzecchi had the opportunity to see what Jorge Martín did as well: ‘In the end, let’s say he has always been the strongest in this aspect of riding and has given us good help, obviously, but at the same time, when he has difficulties, or anyway, you know, in one lap or one race we can always improve’.
There is always room for improvement, believes #72: ‘Even when you win, it is always possible to do better. So, at the same time, I think Pecco also learned something from all the Ducati riders, but it is obvious that he has always been the strongest when it comes to braking and now he continues to be very strong. But sometimes, there is also someone who deceives him’.
