MotoGP: Marco Bezzecchi didn’t take Sprint race idea ‘well at the beginning, big commitment’

Present in both WorldSBK and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Formula 1, Sprint﷽ races have become an added attraction to both championships in recent yꦺears, something MotoGP will introduce for the first time in 2023.
MotoGP’s Sprint races fo🌸rmat will be different to WorldSBK in the sense that it has no bearing on the grid for the main Grand Prix, while it will also be half-points which is different to Formula 1 as only the top eight score points.
- “We’ll se💜e if R♔azgatlioglu has that last 1% you need to be a MotoGP rider”
- Sprint races ‘will cha⛦nge the championship’, ‘have to be 🧜smart’
Bezzecchi, who like sever🎃al riders on the grid was unconvinced by the idea of Sprint races, has since admitted it could ‘spice’ things up.
"At the beginning, I didn't take it well, it's a very big commitment," Bezzecchi told . "I tried to follow the SBK more, see how they run the race. It's interesting, a new t༺hing, very different, it could spice up the whole Championship."
The standout rookie last season, Bezzecꩲchi is aiming for a big jump in year-two,♋ with consistent top five finishes very much on his mind despite lacking MotoGP experience compared to his rivals.
Bezzecchi stated: "I want to set mysel🔴f more goals: to be consistently in the top five to six. It's difficult, but it can be done. And I would like to win.
"I still lack some experience as a MotoGP rider. You have to do a lot of kilometres and both myself and the team need to focus moꦆre on braking, something that has become very important in recent years.
"And I need to take a step forward in tyre man🍌agement, also improving some electronic controls."
💟Braking the biggest ‘difference’ between Bezzecchi and MotoGP champion Bagnaia

As is the case for many of the other Ducati riders in 2023, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia will be the rider𓃲 to beat after winnin🌌g the world title last season.
Very familiar with his fellow Italian as the two riders spend a lot of time training together as part of the VR46 Academy, Bezze🥂cchi said braking was the main ‘difference’ that separated them in 2022.
"He𒆙 is fast everywhere, but on the brakes at the beginning of 2022 between us there was a reall♛y big difference," added Bezzecchi. "Then, as the races went on, it reduced a little, but he always had something more.
"There were some GPs that I did better than him in some corners, but overall he knows how to exploit the main quality🅰 of our bike, which is braking. He can bring a lot of speed into the corners and that allows him to♏ go fast."
