One step at a time, but Marco Bezzecchi’s progression on the Ducati is constant. The driver of the Mooney VR46 Racing Team also improved on the third and final day of the Sepang Shakedown, managing for the first time to break the two-minute barrier.
With his 1’59 “711 the rider from Romagna closed with the fourth time of the day, behind the two owners of Aprilia, who took to the track thanks to the concessions, and Raul Fernandez, who then took away the palm of best rookie who had won yesterday, still paying a gap of just under two tenths. But the ranking and the times for the moment leave the time they find, for the moment the thing that interests most to “Bez” is to see a progressive improved feeling with his Desmosedici GP.
“It was a good day, better than yesterday, because we were able to polish a little more. I’m happy with how this shakedown went, because we took a little step forward every day and I improved my feeling with the bike. . The team did an incredible job, so I can’t complain. Then we will better evaluate our level in the next days of testing, “said Bezzecchi at the end of the day.
Even from the point of view of physical preparation he seems to have gotten positive responses: I am very happy for the moment, even if I have never tried to do a real long run. I’ve never done too many laps in a row and I can’t complain. We will also do a race simulation soon and things will be clearer there, but for now it’s okay. “
Today he also had the opportunity to steal some secrets from an experienced rider like Aleix Espargaro: “I was able to follow him, because I met him on the track. I followed him for one or two laps, but then he was slightly faster than me. , so it wasn’t easy to stay attached. Surely in the next two days of testing it will be easier to find a ‘hook’ on the track, but I won’t be looking for anyone in particular. “
But above all he received a visit in the box of the vice-champion of the world in charge Pecco Bagnaiahis partner also at the VR46 Academy, who gave him some advice: “He came to say hello and gave me some advice. Pecco is very kind and cares a lot about the Ducati project, so he’s trying to give us a hand in this respect . He gave me some tips, but it is not easy to put into practice everything you are told, even if I must say that they were very valuable advice “.
Although progress has been made, for the moment it is still too early to say that we can speak to the Desmosedici GP: “In Jerez it was a bit more complicated. Here I felt better almost immediately, without doing great things on the motorcycles, because we only tried a few things on the handlebars. I’m happy, because I think we’ve made a good step forward. effort, but slowly I’m gaining some confidence “.
