Valentino Rossi given credit for “99.9%” of thrilling MotoGP title fight
Francesco Bagnaia and Marco Bezzecchi, both graduates of VR46 Academy, are currently in a fierce competition for the top spot in MotoGP. Bezzecchi recently won the Indian MotoGP, while Bagnaia unfortunately crashed out. Bezzecchi expressed gratitude to Valentino Rossi for providing them with training opportunities that are typically out of reach for most. Bagnaia currently leads the MotoGP standings by 13 points, with Jorge Martin in second place. Bezzecchi is currently 44 points behind the leader. Despite their close relationship, Bagnaia and Bezzecchi have not yet developed a heated rivalry like Rossi had with his peers. They consider themselves mature enough to handle the situation and maintain a strong friendship. At times, Bezzecchi playfully teases Bagnaia about being in front, to which Bagnaia jokingly admits to feeling the pressure.
