Marco Bezzecchi: Better to be accompanied by Valentino Rossi than his girlfriend
At the start of the second lap, the 25 year old rider from Rimini had an accident with Binder and Bagnaia, causing him to fall. “What can I say? It’s better not to do anything, otherwise someone will hit me next time. Ask the race controller.. I watched the replay because I felt a strong push. Brad lost grip in the last corner. Pecco and I managed to overtake him on the straight. I tried to finish with late braking in the first corner and went a little wide in turn 1. I saw Brad touch Pecco and he fell, so he couldn’t do anything.”
On the ninth lap, Marco Bezzecchi was in third position after the rider in front of him fell. A profitable situation that only lasts a few seconds. “I went a little wide in turn 6 and took too much risk in the next corner. I lost the front, it was a small mistake.”
