Marco Bezzecchi came in 6th at the finish line and was the best of the Aprilia riders. Although he faced many problems during the weekend, which began as early as Friday morning, the result obtained is certainly nothing to throw away.
"I'm quite satisfied with today, even though it was the most complicated weekend overall since the beginning of the season. It's too bad, because the starting position affected me. In this MotoGP, if you don't start up in front, it's really tough. The second part of the race, however, was positive, and I gradually felt better physically and with the sensation on the bike. If they hadn't taken a lap off, I would've gotten closer to Miller and tried to overtake. Maybe nothing would've changed, but maybe it would've been more fun," he said, analyzing the situation.
Overall, the performance was comforting for the future. "I was finally able to do some overtaking and good braking. When I saw that I was catching up, I enjoyed it. In any case, we can't fall asleep, but try to improve both in qualifying and in the first part of the race," he pointed out.
The new tire isn't the only critical issue that's slowing him down. "I'm not that bad with the tires. The trouble is that we lack stability. Specifically, when a new set is mounted, the RS-GP25 becomes nervous. Let's say, I still haven't quite figured out how to be incisive without attacking the bike too much. Pushing without really pushing isn't easy. Besides the movements it makes, with fresh rubber, instead of lowering the time by three tenths, the benefit is resolved at one, because I go long, and I'm not precise. So, we have to find ways to make it more docile throughout the GP. What was my choice at the first start? The rains, because Baiocco told me it was risky with slicks, and I saw that it was drizzling during the Moto2," he concluded.
