MotoGP: Marco Bezzecchi talks about his friend: "When he's in form, Pecco Bagnaia is one of the best I've ever seen."

It's no secret that Marco Bezzecchi and Pecco Bagnaia are two great friends. Former teammates at VR46 in Moto2, they were both "raised" by Valentino Rossi's academy, and have enjoyed dazzling success in the world championship. While Bagnaia remains the spearhead of the young Italians in MotoGP, we must not forget that Marco Bezzecchi shocked the entire motorcycling world in 2023, with absolutely sensational victories. The "Bez" opens up about his friend's talent.

Marco Bezzecchi never hesitates to defend Pecco, as was the case, for example, following the latter's clash with Alex Marquez at Aragon in 2024. « When he's at his best, he's amazing.. He adapts quickly to the conditions, but he also understands very quickly how to approach each corner during the race. He is fluid, he is strong under braking, but it can also take a lot of input speed, which is really difficult: it's the most sensitive part of piloting », he declared for Motosan. A beautiful tribute.

 

 

 

The official Aprilia did not stop there: "So I think Pecco, when he's in top form, is one of the best riders I've ever seen." he added. Indeed, it would be interesting to know where other riders place Bagnaia in the history of motorcycling, because his two MotoGP world titles have incredible sporting value, especially the one he acquired in 2022, after a phenomenal comeback of more than 90 points.

This season, Bagnaia is struggling with his Desmosedici GP25, which complicates things quite a bit against a Marc Marquez in a state of grace. If Bagnaia were to overtake the eight-time world champion in the second half of the season, thanks to a clever adjustment, for example, This would certainly be one of the greatest feats in the history of motorcycle racing.. But we are far from that…
