P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Bezzecchi still does not feel "automatic" on Ducati GP23 in MotoGP
Finishing third in his sophomore year, winning races in Argentina, France, and India, Bezzecchi was expected to excel in 2024 on the GP23 bike, like Bagnaia’s title-winning one. Despite not having the same equipment as some Ducati teammates, Bezzecchi struggled initially, ranking 13th overall. Adapting to the 2023-spec Desmosedici has been challenging for Bezzecchi, who is used to a different style of braking from his previous bike. Despite progress, he still needs to work on his race starts, an aspect where he has not excelled in his MotoGP career.
