Valentino Rossi’s key ally is sharing 18 years’ worth of wisdom with Marco Bezzecchi

For almost two decades, Matteo Flamigni was a crucial part of Valentino Rossi’s garage. Nearly two decades’ worth of education and experience were acquired through the glory years, and even through the dark periods.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marco Bezzecchi gave Rossi’s Mooney VR46 team their firsꩵt-ever MotoGP race win last weekend in Argentina. It was also a first victory for Be🤡zzecchi, another charismatic young Italian following in Rossi’s path.

In Bezzecchi’s ear is Flamigni - but this is a new chapter for him, too. Flamigni worked as the data engineer for Rossi but is now crew chief for Bezzecchi, a differenไt role and not necessar♛ily a guarantee of success. But just two grands prix into 2023, the first major success has been delivered.

“After 18 years as a telemetrist for Valentino, I didn’t see myself alongside another rider🅠 in the same role,” Flamigni explained to .

“I told myself ⛎that in the collective imagination I will remain forever the telemetrist of Vale.

“So I꧟ thought to do something different with another rider, to start a new chapter of my life.”

The transition was fairly natural to working alongside Bezzecchi, a graduate of the VR46 Acad🉐emy.

Rossi’s academy crowned its first MotoGP champio𒆙n last season when Francesco Bagnaia claimed the top prize. Now, his Mooney VR46 team has its first race win thanks to Bezzecchi.

“I knew him because he was a part of the Academy but I had never had the🅘 opportunity to talk to him from a 𝓡technical point of view,” Flamigni said.

“I did not even imagine what his l♌evel was, even if I saw him be fast in Moto2 and Moto3.

“The expectations were good, he seemed to me to be a boy wit📖h the learning qualities that would make him grow decisively.

“When we started working together I found a guy who learns very quickly, listens a lot, is very humble and💦 puts the teachings into practi🍸ce. 

“The thing that makes me tܫhe most proud is being able to transmit what I have learned💝 over the years.

“From this point of view, Marco is a sponge.”

The information that Flamigni is able to transmit must be fasci𝓰nating after 18 years alongside Rossi.

Bezzecchi, after two rounds, leads the MotoGP standings and has emerged as an unex⛦pected early threat to Bagnaia’s ch🍨ampionship.

Whether h🎃e can sustain his early form remains to be seen -🐈 but he will be guided by lessons from the past.

“With Vale I acquired a lot of information, he gave me a method, an attitꦓude, an approach🍷 to racing that is a lifestyle,” Flamigni said.

“I’m looking for what I’ve learned with Vale in this new team. The guys who work with me, including Marco, I think they are happy to find the▨ teachings of Valentino.”

How did Ross🦹i react to Bezzecchi and VR46’s win in Argentina?

“He wrote to me that we did a great job.”

Does Bezzecchi share any traits with the legend?

“He ꩲnever misses an opportunity to try to improve corner after corner to get the perfect lap. This is very similar to Vale.

“He goes fas🐻t, he understands why, and is able to do the right things at the right times.

“Last year he was too impetuous, too instinctiveꦇ.”

Bezzecchi’s title charge will continue at the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP 🍸Grand Prix of the Americas, round three of the championship.

“I told him that leading the championship means nothing,” Flamigni wa𓂃rned.

“It’s like leading t🐓he first lap of a 30-lap race.

“In my 30-year career I have seen riders excel in one race, 🧔then get lost in the next.”
