The dialogue in the podium room
“Honestly, I don’t know how Bezzecchi managed to finish the race, after the warm-up he was struggling to walk“. This is how the CEO of Aprilia Racing Massimo Rivola highlighted the effort of a stoic Marco Bezzecchi who earned two very precious podiums at Silverstone after the injury suffered at Sachsenring.
The Italian rider has returned ahead of Marc Marquez in the World Championship standings and is 31 points behind his teammate Jorge Martin, who collected 32 points at Silverstone, significantly extending his lead at the top of the rankings.
Bezzecchi and Martin in the podium room emphasized the physical effort exerted during the British GP. “At the end of the race in Turn 9 and Turn 10 I was done”, said Martin. “At one point I felt like vomiting – Bezzecchi replied – I told myself ‘let’s hope for the best, otherwise I’ll vomit in the helmet’”.
“I was done” 😩

Raul Fernandez in front of the images of Ai Ogura’s crash said to Martin: “A big hit for the championship, huh?“, but Martinator dodged by replying “it’s still a long way to go”.
