Loris Capirossi

Marco Bezzecchi's fame has greatly accelerated and expanded since his first victory in MotoGP, acquired in style on wet Argentine soil. Coming from the VR46 Academy and playing within the team whose boss is Valentino Rossi, it was first of all the Doctor that he brought to mind for the top step of the podium. The look is similar, as is the physique, which also recalls the late Marco Simoncelli. But Loris Capirossi assures that everyone is wrong. Because on the motorcycle, it is indeed the “Capirex” from before its extinction that he sees…

In an interview relayed by InSella.it, Loris Capirossi, who today works in the security field for Dorna, wants his share of Bezzecchi. Proof that the academician VR46 has taken on a new dimension to which he will have to get used, as will his adversaries... " Bezzecchi looks like me, we are both from Romagna and we also have gasoline in our veins, as well as blood… He is an instinctive and quite aggressive driver, he never backs down and this can make the difference in a championship as long as this year's ».

Loris Capirossi: “ Marco Bezzecchi has the quality and talent to make a great World Championship »

He adds : " I like the way it rides on the Ducati. In Argentina he was fabulous, especially in difficult track conditions, he made no mistakes, he was always in the lead and achieved a historic victory, his first in MotoGP. I'm sure she won't be the only one this year : Bezzecchi has the quality and talent to make a great World Championship ».

This should be another wake-up call for a Francis Bagnaia who fell in Argentina, when he was in second position. A blunder that Loris Capirossi don't minimize. He analyzes as follows: “ the conditions were difficult, pilots are not robots. I like the fact that Pecco never backs down, he admits responsibility. Mistakes make you learn. Last year he did and yet he won the title. He is not a satisfied driver, he wanted to win despite his second place. That's why I say it's a mistake that can cost ».

His title defense has only just begun and after a perfect weekend in Portugal, he picked up few points in Argentina and will seek redemption at Austin, in Texas, starting next weekend.
