Marco Bezzecchi Jumps at Pecco Bagnaia and Falls in Parc Ferme: Full of Emotion!

RiderTua.com – By finishing 3rd at Jerez, Marco Bezzecchi ended his long drought without a podium since 24 September 2023 when he won the Indian GP. After a fierce battle on the front line, the VR46 Racing rider was no longer able to keep up with his two brand mates Pecco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez.

BTW, Bezzecchi had a difficult start to the season and only scored 20 points in the first 3 MotoGP series of the 2024 season. However, he was able to double this number at Jerez and is now ranked 9th in the standings. “After suffering from a shoulder injury last season and the new bike I rode this season, it was difficult. I’ve missed that feeling for a long time. This is an extraordinary weekend and I am very motivated,” said the 25 year old rider.

Marco Bezzecchi has lost positions in the last few races, especially in the starting phase. Now he seems increasingly able to overcome this weakness. The rider from Rimini, Italy, said that he was very focused, especially at the start. In the past he always had problems with the clutch, so the acceleration phase was a bit bad. This time everything worked.

Bezzecchi came out of the first lap in 4th position and was able to keep Marc Marquez behind him for a long time. It wasn’t until the 13th lap that the Gresini rider managed to overtake him.

“After Jorge Martin fell and Marc overtook me, I tried to follow him. But failed. He was faster this weekend, but that helped me to get a little further away from the rivals behind me. Marc twice overtook Pecco at turn 9. I didn’t see any contact “, but both of them lost a lot of time. When Marc starts the fight, it will always be intense,” said Bez regarding the duel between the two top Ducati riders.

Attacks were no longer possible for Bezzecchi because his front tires were starting to wear out. Valentino Rossi’s pupil crossed the finish line in 3rd place just less than 4 seconds behind his friend and Spanish GP winner Pecco Bagnaia. With his first podium this season, Bez was finally able to answer the question of whether he could return to his old form? He answered confidently, that of course he wanted to continue that positive trend..

There was a hilarious incident in parc ferme, because Bezzecchi jumped towards Pecco, but they both fell on the floor. “Nothing happened to us. I was full of emotion at that time,” concluded Marco Bezzecchi, laughing.
