Charles Pernat

Carlo Pernat, one of the most flamboyant figures in the paddock, delivered his impassioned analysis after the Dutch Grand Prix, where Marco Bezzecchi claimed a brilliant second place. For the renowned manager, the Italian rider is on the rise, and Aprilia can rub its hands in a tense period with the man who should have been the figurehead of the RS-GP project.

« We have positive points, without a doubt. This is the case of Aprilia and BezzecchiIt's a great story. Bezzecchi has shown that he is a very strong rider, knowing how to form a group and push the team. And it's a good thing Aprilia recruited him. » he comments.

Feathered goes even further, convinced that Bezzecchi has just reached a milestone: " in my opinion, he made that famous leap forward in terms of qualityHe is close to Marquez, he is trying to overtake him. It is very difficult because Marquez is a champion. But he must stay calm, he will try. And then, the arrival of Fabiano Sterlacchini, in my opinion, will be very important »

Carlo Pernat: “ It's a shame that the plot with Martin was instigated by his manager. »

But the Italian could not help but mention the soap opera that is shaking up the box Aprilia : George Martin and his unexpected departure. Visibly annoyed, Feathered coward : " It's a shame that the plot with Martin was instigated by his manager, who wants to leave. We'll see. This seems really bad to me. But we'll see. »

For Feathered, the choice of Martin is incomprehensible, especially given the potential ofAprilia : " If I were a rider and I left a bike that is currently running very well, with desire, quality and a teammate like Bezzecchi, I would stay where I am »

And to broaden the debate to the wider context of MotoGP, recalling another major upheaval: " However, it is financial reasons that influence the market. Like what happened with Carmelo Ezpeleta, the boss of Dorna, who managed to sell the majority to Liberty MediaThe competition authority gave a positive opinion. »

This is how MotoGP goes according to Feathered : between stories of emerging talents and behind-the-scenes intrigues, the paddock definitely has nothing to envy from a suspense series.
