VR46 rider Marco Bezzecchi admits he has “to change” his riding style on the 2023 spec Ducati, citing it doesn’t
Bezzecchi impressed last season by finishing third in the Riders’ Championship during his second full season in the premier class, achieving three wins and three podium finishes. Despite a challenging start in Qatar where he placed 14th, he managed a decent sixth-place finish in Portimao. However, his struggles in the Sprint races have hindered his ability to score more points. Bezzecchi attributes his adjustment difficulties to the differences between the GP23 and his previous GP22 bike, particularly in braking techniques. He acknowledges the need to change his riding style to adapt to the new bike’s characteristics, especially when entering corners and releasing the brake. Bezzecchi aims to improve his starts, as he admits to struggling consistently with the clutch in MotoGP, experiencing difficulty with acceleration due to variations in clutch feeling. Despite the challenges, he is focused on making progress and adjustments to enhance his performance throughout the season.
