Marco Bezzecchi details his struggles on the GP23 after a torrid Qatar MotoGP
title challenge and third-placed finish made him a breakthrough star.Bezzecchi finished 11th in the sprint race then 14th in the grand prix at the Qatar MotoGP.“We had made a step in the warm-up and I was happy because I finally felt good enough on the bike.
“At that point I started to lose feeling when braking and entering corners, so I started opening the throttle earlier because I was missing something in terms of speed.“I tried to manage the situation, but with 11 laps to go I had already moved onto map C, which is the one with less power, and there was still half the race to go.“We found some interesting things, but we also saw that it is very difficult to straighten out a weekend that starts off in the wrong way.
Looking around the grid, Marc Marquez is among the riders making much better progress than Bezzecchi on the same machinery. “So I want to concentrate on them and study the data to understand what I'm missing and why, right now, I can't do what they do.”
