Marco Bezzecchi suffered a severe fall that left his face bloodied. Despite this, he bravely completed 26 laps but was only able to climb to 19th place on the timesheet. “ This is perhaps one of the most difficult days of the season: this morning I didn't feel bad, while in the afternoon the gap was greater ", said Bezzecchi, who started the day in 12th position during FP1. “I fell, I took a big hit, gravel got into my helmet and I injured my face »

Despite his efforts, the usual problems of Bezzecchi came back to haunt him: “ then the usual problems returned, I had difficulty putting on the gas, the motorcycle does not turn, I lose speed and often go too far. It wasn't my day, I hope to take a step forward tomorrow, we don't give up »
The day was marked by numerous incidents, highlighting the challenges posed by the circuit of Sachsenring, especially with its technical turns and variable conditions. The pilots VR46 will have to learn lessons from this first day and find solutions to improve their performance during the next sessions, hoping for a more lenient and productive weekend.
