Days after surgery, Marco Bezzecchi heads to Mandalika
VR46 rider Marco Bezzecchi underwent surgery after a training accident at Valentino Rossi’s moto ranch, putting his participation in the Indonesian MotoGP in doubt. Bezzecchi, who is already 54 points behind the championship leaders, aims to be declared fit to ride by the MotoGP medical team. His teammate, Luca Marini, who also suffered a collarbone injury in a collision with Bezzecchi, is also targeting a return in Indonesia. Bezzecchi’s injury has further highlighted the new scoring system, as under the old system, he would be only 10 points behind Jorge Martin and six points behind Francesco Bagnaia. Bezzecchi’s determination to race echoes Jorge Lorenzo’s famous comeback after breaking his collarbone in Assen back in 2013, although Lorenzo eventually needed further surgery after damaging the plate in the following race at Sachsenring.
