Luca marini Marini's performance at the Czech Grand Prix in Brno was magnificent. Starting 15th (due to Marco Bezzecchi's suspension, which he took a long time to cover), he climbed all the way to 8th place and even managed to hold off Jorge Martin towards the end. The Aprilia factory rider was very happy with his performance, even if it didn't match that of his teammate Joan Mir, who finished 5th. Honda is making progress, and Marini is keeping pace. Just like last year, he's getting stronger with each Grand Prix.
Marini was very happy with his Grand Prix, but also with Joan Mir's. « A very solid race, I'm very happy with my paceI made up a lot of positions, I overtook a lot. Joan made a strange choice with the rear soft tire, but he didn't have any vibrations unlike me. I was able to brake better on Sunday, and thus make more overtaking maneuvers.We can be satisfied with this weekend. Of course, the gap to the leaders is still significant, but we made good progress between yesterday and today. he declared to our microphones.
He was also questioned about the penalty received by Marco Bezzecchi, namely, a race suspension for hitting a marshal. "It's true that at that moment, we pilots are overwhelmed by adrenaline," So I think Beezzecchi understood his mistakeHe explained himself, he apologized, etc., so everyone agrees on his behavior today. But I agree with his penalty. We must always oppose violence, even if it is not extreme, because it is unacceptable behavior in all sports."It also sets a precedent, and it will benefit younger Moto3 riders." he continued.

Indeed, no driver had ever been suspended for such a reason. « In the end, the penalty is severe, but that's because it had never happened before. In the past, there have sometimes been scuffles or shouts directed at the commissioner, but nothing like this has ever happened. I therefore understand the commissioners' decision. The fact that Bez is leading the championship makes everything louder. If he were the last driver on the grid, it might be quieter, I think. » he concluded.
