Italian MotoGP star Marco Bezzecchi is focused on challenging the dominance of Marc Marquez, the undisputed leader of the championship. At the recent Czech MotoGP in Brno, Bezzecchi tracked Marquez’s every move to understand the secret behind the Spanish rider’s continued supremacy.
While Marquez secured his fifth grand prix win in a row, Bezzecchi demonstrated impressive form with his fourth podium finish in six races. Though he couldn’t match Marquez’s blistering speed, Bezzecchi emerged as a strong competitor within the Ducati team, proving his ability to contest at the highest level.
Analyzing Marquez’s Superior Riding Technique on Track
During the race, Bezzecchi led early on, commanding the front for seven laps before yielding to Marquez’s persistent challenge. Despite being overtaken, Bezzecchi seized the chance to study Marquez’s riding, particularly admiring his exceptional traction control and fluid cornering style.
In an open conversation on MotoGP.com’s After the Flag, Bezzecchi revealed his insights:
Let’s say that he is a bit stronger especially in the traction area compared to me. I’m able to ride strong in braking, I was, I think, also stronger than him; but then, when he was opening the throttle, he was carrying a lot of corner speed, a lot of momentum, and he was really smooth.
