• 2024 British MotoGP, Silverstone - Friday Practice Results

“It was a crazy day🌳, but fortunately the result was not bad,” he told ꦅmedia including ltxcn.top in the Silverstone paddock.

“We had some issues this morning but then again in the afternoon. So we 💮really couldn’t make some laps in a row, I had to make some short runs and especially in the afternoon.”

The positive for Bezzecchi was his time attack pace, which h🧸e admits came as a surprise despite being so far behind with his long run programme.

“Fortunately, I was able to make some time attack laps and make it into the top 10 for Q2. For this I am happy but tomorrow we wi♔ll have to work really hard for the race pace, because we are a step bಞehind.”

When asked about what𝄹 is missing for his race pace, Bezzecchi said: “Honestly, I don’t know because I never really got the chance to do a decent run.

“The main i🦂ssue was never being able to 🍸get a good run on the same set of tyres, so for the moment I don’t know!”

The Italian went on to explain what he feꦚlt when he suffered the suspected engine problem in the afternoon.

“I don’t have a clear u🔯nderstanding of what went wrong, as the team is still checking tꦇhe issue,” he said.

“The bike was working, but there was no power when I w🦋as trying to bump start it.”

“That is why I was running with the bike, to get it back (to ℱthe pits) - because I didn’t have enough tyres to use for the rest of the session.”

Fortunately for the #72 he has tomorrow morning to try to get his long ꧒race pace dialled in before Q2:

“So the team🍒 are checking the data and they will find out what the problem is for sure. But the session was so short for me and I couldn’t make a normal run because I only had the one bike, so I am not happy with the race pace.”
