Marco Bezzecchi has opened up on his big decision to stay at VR46 rather than go to Pramac.
In the first half of the 2023 season, his exceptional performance made him an unexpected contender in the MotoGP championship race. Despite being offered the opportunity to switch to a latest-spec Desmosedici at Pramac, he decided to stick with a year-old version at VR46. He described it as a heartfelt choice, considering the challenges of MotoGP and the need to make the right decisions. Ultimately, he chose to stay with Team VR46 because he believes it provides the best conditions for him to give his all. He was surprised to learn that his teammate Luca Marini would be moving to Repsol Honda, but he maintains his enthusiasm and looks forward to the season ahead. Last season, he finished third in the standings and his goal for this year is to realistically define his objectives and evaluate the elements that will contribute to his success. He already has some victories under his belt, including the first premier class race win for the VR46 team, but his competitiveness was hindered by a collarbone injury. Despite setbacks, he remains determined and acknowledges that there were other factors that affected his performance.
