A great podium, celebrated with irrepressible enthusiasm.
Marco Bezzecchi took third place at the Portuguese Grand Prix, the second of his MotoGP career. An unforgettable Sunday for the Mooney VR46 Racing Team rider, back from the bitter outcome of Saturday’s Sprint Race.
“Starting the season like this is special, what a race! I started strong, compared to yesterday I nailed an excellent start – explained Bezzecchi -. I then waited a few laps, but I must confess that I pushed hard for at least 3/4 of the distance. When I was behind Jack (Miller ed) I was struggling with the front tyre, I tried to overtake him as soon as possible and then put myself in front on my own to be able to enter the corners better. I pushed to open a gap on Alex (Marquez ed ) and those behind, and as soon as the tank got lighter I was able to go even faster”.
“The setting was excellent, the guys did a great job and I was able to manage the tire in the best possible way. All thanks to the team, to Ducati, they did so much during the pre-season, in Vale, without which I wouldn’t be here and at all my family. I’m really happy, I had fun today,” concluded Bezzecchi.
