At Valentino Rossi’s court there may soon be a MotoGP champion. Marco Bezzecchi moves in the same vein.
Marco Bezzecchi, born in 1998, grew up at Valentino Rossi’s court. He is one of the most promising students of the VR46 Academy, runs his first season in MotoGP with the colors of the Mooney VR46 Racing Team, has already put in his curriculum a second place in the Assen GP and a pole position in qualifying in Thailand. The dream is that of all those who arrive in the premier class, to win the world title.
Although the distances between bikes, manufacturers and teams have narrowed, he knows he has to rely on a factory team to aspire to the world title. This is perhaps one of the few details that can make the difference to chase the world championship dream. For now, Bezzecchi needs to gain experience, continue to train, become familiar with the Ducati Desmosedici GP. From next season he will be able to count on the GP22 version with which Pecco Bagnaia and the other riders with factory bikes are racing today.
Little champions at Valentino Rossi’s court
For the VR46 Academy it could be a year to frame, not only for the team’s debut in the MotoGP World Championship, but also for the possible victory of the title by Bagnaia, one of the first students of Valentino Rossi. For the Bez, on the other hand, it is a question of having to take yet other personal steps before being able to think about certain horizons. Even if the ideas are very clear: “My first goal is to try to win a race“He told Crash.net. “Then I want to get on an official bike. Ducati is the best choice, I will wait for the chance to join the factory team“.
It will not be possible in the next two years, since Pecco Bagnaia and Enea Bastianini they will remain linked to the team headed by Davide Tardozzi and Paolo Ciabatti until the end of the 2024 season. “I want to be a world champion in MotoGP“. To do this he carefully studies Bagnaia’s telemetry, “because he is the one who uses the Ducati in the best way“. Meanwhile, he has already collected a podium and a pole position, soon will be confirmed “The best rookie of the year”.
Then there are the wise advice of the master and legend Valentino Rossi, who will be present in Valencia for the last race of the season. “I’ve always been a Valentino fan, it’s great to ride with his name on the bike“, commented Marco Bezzecchi. “I was really lucky to meet him and join the Academy a few years later… He is a good friend and a fantastic coach“.
