Marco Bezzecchi, one of the men of the moment, didn't necessarily shine on this first day at Balaton Park, in Hungary. Moreover, no Aprilia directly qualified for Q2, proof of a general weakness. As if that weren't enough, engine explosions also cost a lot of time to the Noale-based company, which already has to limit the damage to not lose its very good momentum of the moment. Bezzecchi, frequent on the podium and winner this season, spoke about this Black Friday.
The "Bez" was really not satisfied with Aprilia's overall performance this Friday. « The goal was to go directly to Q2. Now we have to try to improve on Saturday. I had problems today, especially with decelerating properly with the bike. I lacked sensations when braking, and with both wheels. That really weighed on this circuit; This is what we need to work onBut we have the ability to react. That will be our goal tonight." he declared. As usual, he does not lose hope.

The Aprilia, very comfortable on circuits with long curves, struggles on this stop & go layout. « Our bike is a little too fast for this circuit! Yes, it's a plausible theory. But the track itself is anything but bad. Physically, it is difficult and very technical » he added.

Personally, he likes Balaton Park more. « I like sector 2 with its two right turnsOverall, I enjoyed driving on this circuit. However, I don't even know if we'll be able to overtake because we have so many braking problems. I didn't expect that » he concluded.
