He is known for his frankness, and it is not unjustified. Marco Bezzecchi, eighth in the Sprint in Spain, does not have a weekend that lives up to his expectations. The Italian managed to advance to Q2 from Q1, thus breaking out of a very homogeneous group to join another. Then, during the race, he gained a few positions to take the points for eighth place, a decent result but still far from expectations. The "Bez", who had started 2025 very well, is struggling to confirm. Aprilia still has a lot of work to do.
Always in a good mood, he was a little disappointed when it came to answering questions from the press. « Damn, it's true that I could have been the first non-Ducati rider! I hadn't even thought about it. Well, we made a bit of progress, and luckily I managed to qualify for Q2. We're a bit behind at the moment. I got off to a good start, fought hard, and got back up to Maverick Vinales. But I wasn't able to push quickly and had some tire problems. In the end I caught up with him, but I almost killed myself in turn 6; I went out to avoid falling. Fortunately, I managed to repeat Joan Mir after this mistake." he declared with flowery language in the columns of GP One.

Ahead of him, six Ducatis, but one KTM. This domination of the Borgo Panigale firm does not seem to represent an additional motivation for Bezzecchi: « I don't give a fuck. I always try to do my best, and whether it's a Kawasaki, a Suzuki or another one in front of me, I don't care. For now, they are the strongest and we must try to improve." he continued.

After adding that tire management will be crucial in Sunday's race, Bezzecchi discusses his plans for tomorrow. « We will have to try to get off to a good start.If we succeed, I think we will have the opportunity to have even more fun tomorrow. We need to try some things during the warm-up... » he concluded.
