MotoGP Le Mans, Bezzecchi regrets
Le Mans was supposed to be the weekend of Marco’s definitive redemption Bezzecchi. Instead, the improvements in sensations on the GP23 were only seen in qualifying, while in Sprint and the race Bez he slipped, getting a heavy double zero. Even today, on the Bugatti Circuit, the race of the #72 ended on the third lap with a sudden closure of the front: precisely those problems in running that Bezzecchi has always fought this year.
For the class of 1998, the top-5 was possible, that objective which Fabio just missed By Giannantoniovictim of a long lap penalty which condemned him to sixth place.
Bezzecchi’s words
“It’s a shame, we didn’t need a double crash because we were very competitive. At the touch of gas, I lost the front end. I don’t think I could have kept up with Jorge Martin and ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia, but perhaps with Enea Bastianini and Maverick Viñales.“, this is Bezzecchi’s comment. “I was fighting with Enea when in an overtaking/counter-overtaking I couldn’t do anything to avoid the fall. The riding sensations were good, the bike wheelied a lot at the start, but maybe the top-5 was possible. Let’s analyze all the data and try again in Barcelona“.
The words of Di Giannantonio
“I’m super happy, it was the best weekend so far with the team“, added Di Giannantonio. “After the warm up, I felt really good, the riding sensations were excellent. I got off to a great start, I was in a battle with Aleix Espargaró and I knew I had a good pace. At the end I struggled a bit with the rear tire, the bike was vibrating a lot and I had to pick up the pace a bit. The others came from behind, I tried to hold on. It’s a shame about the long lap penalty, but I’m happy. We had a good race and a good battle with Marc Marquez. Let’s sort out the last details and fight with the strongest in Catalonia“.
