MotoGP, Bezzecchi-Aprilia: first love with the RSV4 at Mandalika

The Mandalika circuit today sees the conclusion of the three-day training session, which has seen the Academy take centre-stage on the track. In fact, all the VR46 riders answered the roll call with the addition of Fabio Di Giannantonio, back in action after shoulder surgery in November.

Among the participants there could not be missing Marco Bezzecchi, who for the occasion was riding the RSV4. For the new Noale manufacturer rider it was the first contact with the Aprilia road version.

For him, as for the others, it was the first outing of the new year with one eye toward the Sepang tests, scheduled for February 5-7. But first it will be the turn of the rookies and test riders of the respective manufacturers to take part in the traditional opening shakedown.
