Marco Bezzecchi Admits It’s Difficult to Make Friends in MotoGP

– Italian rider Marco Bezzecchi admits that while his relationship with MotoGP champion Francesco Bagnaia is strong, it is difficult to maintain a level of friendship while racing together.

Only one point separates the two Italian riders at the top of the MotoGP world championship standings, with Bagnaia currently holding the lead.

Had Bagnaia not been involved in a collision with Maverick Vinales last time out, then the factory Ducati rider could have battled for victory with race winner Bezzecchi.

Instead, his pullout was Bagnaia’s third failure in four rounds, which is why Bezzecchi and Brad Binder have remained so close to the world champion.

Speaking after his Le Mans win, Binder said, “It’s great to be close to Pecco (Francesco Bagnaia , for now. But honestly, I’m still not thinking about the championship.”

“First of all because having the main sprint and GP in the same weekend makes it very easy to lose everything very quickly,” the 24-year-old was quoted as saying. crash.net.

“I just want to continue like this, think weekend after weekend, race after race and enjoy riding the bike. Now we go to Mugello which will be a very nice weekend.”

Bagnaia and Bezzecchi are the only drivers to have won the Grand Prix more than once so far this season, with Alex Rins the only other winner at COTA.

Bagnaia successfully won the MotoGP in Portugal and Spain. While Bezzecchi became the fastest in Argentina and France. While Alex Rins successfully climbed to the top podium in the United States.
