Marco Bezzecchi on “tough” Malaysia MotoGP Friday: ‘We need to use Q1 as an advantage’
Aprilia MotoGP rider Marco Bezzecchi is aiming to use Q1 as an advantage after finishing 15th in Practice at the Malaysian Grand Prix on Friday.
Despite being in-form, Bezzecchi faces a tough challenge to secure a podium after missing out on a direct Q2 spot.
He will be in a competitive Q1 group with riders like Pecco Bagnaia, Luca Marini, Fermin Aldeguer, and Raul Fernandez.
Bezzecchi mentioned that Aprilia made some progress from FP1 to Practice, but it wasn’t enough to close the gap to the leading riders.
Struggling with traction and braking, Bezzecchi is determined to improve his performance and hopes to progress to Q2 through the advantage of Q1.
Aprilia has historically struggled at Sepang, but Bezzecchi remains optimistic and determined to fight for a better result in the upcoming sessions.
