Marco Bezzecchi concludes one of his worst weekends in MotoGP in Malaysia. Nowhere from Friday to Sunday was he ever able to worry the leaders and this was further confirmed during the race. The Italian rider, who frequently awaited victory in 2023, crossed swords against Johann Zarco, who nevertheless rides a much inferior bike. Marco Bezzecchi only has one chance to shine in 2024, and it will be in Barcelona in two weeks. Afterwards, he will have to help Aprilia rebuild, helped by Jorge Martin.
The “Bez” could not be satisfied with his meeting in Malaysia, but still draws positives from this Grand Prix: after all, he had fun.
« It was a great battle, especially against Johann Zarco. There was a good series of overtakes, but afterwards the temperature of my tires was really too high and I could no longer stop the bike. » he confided once the finish line was crossed.
Bezzecchi can only note his failure, he who thought he could get closer to the podium. Starting from 14th place, it seemed compromised. “I made a few mistakes at the end.
Today was the hottest day of the weekend, worst possible conditions » he added. Like Aleix Espargaro, he complained of the heat which made an already physically demanding race stifling.

This phenomenon is accentuated by the aerodynamic load of current motorcycles, which form a real wall for those following them.
« I had a lot of trouble, and if you stay in the aspiration, after a while, it becomes unmanageable » he concluded.
