But whether Bezzecchi can remain a title contender to Bagnaia throughout the season or not remains to be seen, but what he did show in Argentina was an ability to out-𒁃perform the reigning world champion throughout an entire weekend.
"It is strange," said Bezzecchi when discussing the rivalry with other members of the Valentino Rossi academy. "Honestly, I prefer to have rivals who are not my friends. But with Pecco, Luca, Frankie - I hope Vietti i⛦n the future - it is different.
"We’ve trained 💧together for many years. Of course when we race in MotoGP and we close the visor, everyone is the same to me, and I try to arrive in front.
"We all know each other very well - we know each other’s strengths and weaknesses🐓 - this makes things more spicy!"
Bagnaia also spoke about the rivalry that is shared at the VR46 academy after claiming battles at the ranch are ‘m𓂃ore dirty’ than when they race on-tra♒ck in MotoGP.
The factor𒁏y Ducati rider said: "The cleanest battle we have is here! At home, the thing꧂s we do are more difficult, more dirty, like a battle. It’s great to see riders from the Academy.
"This i💫s the best moment of the Academy - winnin⛦g the first two races of the championship, Luca did a podium in the sprint, Frankie was fourth.
"We are growing together a lot and, this year, we have taken a big step in front. We are smart - if we work together at home, we can all be at the front in MotoGP. It is a matter for us to be smart, not to be stupid, and ꧂to have clean battles."
