Marco Bezzecchi approaches testing at Losail with a burning desire to return to his best level after encountering difficulties at Sepang. With his new teammate Fabio Di Giannantonio as a source of inspiration and help, he hopes to bounce back and prove competitive during these final two days of testing. But in the meantime, it is the concern that predominates among the Italian who will already have to reassure about his status as one of the contenders for the 2024 title, after a last campaign ending in the top trio of the championship...
Concerning his objectives for this final rehearsal of the MotoGP in Qatar, Marco Bezzecchi expresses his desire for improvement from his poor performance recorded during the last performance in Malaysia. However, he refrains from getting too far ahead of the scenario that awaits him at the helm of the Ducati GP23 : " I don't know what to expect. The goal is to try to be better than in Malaysia, that's for sure, because I had a lot of trouble there, especially on the last day, so I would like to come back and be quick. We worked a lot at home, analyzed all the data, everything, and we planned what to do here. I'm waiting for a positive test ».
Marco Bezzecchi: “ all the problems I felt on the bike, I luckily saw them in the data »
He acknowledges having encountered difficulties in Sepang, especially on the last day of testing, and therefore wants to return to the track in a more competitive way: “ all the problems I felt on the bike, I luckily saw them in the data, and for me it was difficult to stop the bike and turn it. Braking depends a lot on steering, and if you brake well, everything is easier ».
He also highlights the preparatory work done by analyzing the data and developing a plan for these trials, hoping to achieve positive results: “ we went over everything and made a good plan for here. Of course it's a different test, the track is different, but the first race will also be here. We will have to work more on the race ».
Regarding his relationship with Fabio By Giannantonio, Bezzecchi highlights the opportunity to learn from his new teammate, who has been fast and successful on the Losail track in the past. He expresses his desire to take advantage of his compatriot's data and his own experience to progress together as a team: “ he was very quick and I was able to look at his data and learn everything he did better than me. This track suits him very well, he won last year, so it will be interesting to try and learn from him. I have a good feeling with him he concludes.
