P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Marco Bezzecchi says he “couldn’t really imagine” the scale of Aprilia’s MotoGP turnaround.
“Marco Bezzecchi acknowledges he has been pleasantly surprised by the extent of Aprilia’s resurgence following a challenging pre-season.
As the only factory rider for Aprilia due to injuries to teammate Jorge Martin, Bezzecchi climbed from twelfth in the world championship standings to a podium contender, securing a victory at Silverstone and consistently strong results from Assen onwards.
Eight points behind Francesco Bagnaia in the fight for third overall, Bezzecchi aims to help Aprilia achieve its best MotoGP championship finish by maintaining his current momentum.
Having narrowly missed out on victory to Marc Marquez, Bezzecchi is focusing on improving late-race tyre management and overall bike performance to better compete in the final stages of races.
He acknowledges the need for improvement in various areas, including riding technique, tire management, and electronic settings, to push for more consistent victories and podium finishes in the remaining races of the season.”
