The VR46 rider after the 9th place in Jerez: “The dream is the podium, by working like this we can do it. My Ducati is a great bike, Gigi didn’t expect it like this. What a wonderful fight between Bagnaia and Quartararo”
Of the four rookies at the MotoGP grand ball, he is the one who is proving to have something more. Since his first appearance in Qatar, he has shown himself at times, but it was only in Jerez, two weeks ago, that Marco Bezzecchi completed a weekend in which in each session he showed not only speed but also concreteness. Bez is this week’s guest of MotoG-Podcast, the talk on motorcycles conducted by Paolo Ianieri and Zoran Filicic. “I didn’t expect to go so fast right away, I’m a bit surprised”, acknowledges the VR46 team rider, who in Spain finished in the top 10 for the first time, 9th, after being overtaken at the very last lap. He and the Gresini team rider share the same Ducati, the GP21 version with which Francesco Bagnaia competed for the title last year. “It’s a great bike. I got on that most of the work had already been done by the Ducati guys and the riders “he explains, and if, looking at them from the outside,” apart from the fact that every rider would like to ride them all, I’d like to try a Suzuki or a Yamaha, due to the in-line four-cylinder engine, at the moment I’m at Ducati and on the Ducati I’m fine ”. Also because, in a short time he became a protege of DG Corse, Gigi Dall’Igna. “I don’t know this, because I’m always very afraid to ask him what he thinks, but Gigi is a great, a beautiful person, like you can’t perceive from television”.

The VR46 team is new (“But I have practically known everyone forever, since they were with me also in Moto2”), the track engineer, Matteo Flamigni, as well (“I feel great with Matte, it gives me a lot of calm”), but the ambitions are growing: “A dream this year would be to make a podium. It will be difficult, because the level in MotoGP today is very high, but with work and commitment we can do it “. And in the meantime he enjoys the fight between his friend Francesco Bagnaia and Fabio Quartararo. “Pecco started to make a difference from Portimao, then in Jerez I was behind him when he did the lap that earned him pole position and seeing him drive I felt like I was standing still. I did my best lap, but he gave me 1 ”1, impressive. Pecco when he’s in better shape than him is really hard to beat. Quartararo drives like an act, he is very strong, he is proving to be one of the strongest in recent times. It will be a good battle between the two of them “.
