MotoGP, Bezzecchi superb at Aragón
Marco Bezzecchi keeps surprising and in the Aragón Practice sets the track record with 1:45.455. The Romagnolo manages to ride again through the pain between his left shoulder and left knee, putting everyone behind, including that Marc Marquez who is at home here, not only for nationality reasons.

On a circuit that winks at Ducati while theoretically it should be tougher on Aprilia, considering the characteristics of the RS-GP26, the Bez precedes as many as four Borgo Panigale bikes: Alex Marquez, his brother Marc, Fabio Di Giannantonio and Fermin Aldeguer. A perfect lap, which number 72 comments on like this.
Bezzecchi’s words
“It was an important time“, he admitted to Sky Sport MotoGP. “Already this morning I felt good and we worked in the box between sessions, managing to have a small improvement. In two or three points I do too much on my own and end up losing, so I hope to be able to fix this aspect for tomorrow. We still have to work a lot, because the track conditions change from one day to the next, so it’s like always starting the weekend from scratch. But today it was important to make it physically. I hoped to feel better, but I’m definitely better than Silverstone“.

Of course, Bezzecchi’s physical conditions must be managed with physiotherapy and rest in view of tomorrow and Sunday: “The pace is not bad, let’s see how it goes tomorrow and how the knee and shoulder are. The knee swells a lot, it always generates a lot of fluid. It’s tough, I think I’ll have to live with it for a while, unfortunately. The shoulder is better, but with so many left turns it’s more tiring to manage than Silverstone“.
For Bezzecchi, it is therefore a particularly positive and promising Friday also in terms of the championship, also because Jorge Martin’s start is more uphill in terms of setup. The World Championship leader, in fact, closes the day with the seventh time.
