Marco Bezzecchi’s weekend was particularly rich in crashes, with two in particular having different effects, and that in a weekend where he felt competitive.
After the controversial crash l with Maverick Viñales on Saturday, on Sunday the Italian also went down but continued on track, despite the delay to the competition.
– I’m frustrated, the weekend had started well, in the Sprint I felt competitive. The plan was to try to follow [Jorge] Martin and until the long lap I was in the perfect position. When I found myself behind [Enea] Bastianini, unfortunately, I went too wide and fell. It was a shame, but we’ll have Thailand to try to make up for it.
In this way, Bezzecchi left the top ten in the overall standings, without scoring any points in Phillip Island.
