Marco Bezzecchi, Aprilia Racing rider, is in a complicated moment following a series of races that have called into question his candidacy for the MotoGP championship. Aprilia’s CEO, Massimo Rivola, has stated that Bezzecchi “needs a break” due to the accumulated stress in recent weeks.
After losing the championship lead and achieving two consecutive zeros in the races in the Czech Republic and the Netherlands, tensions have increased for the Italian rider. Bezzecchi made headlines due to a controversy in Brno, where he collided with a marshall, an incident that led to a sanction banning him from the next race.
The situation worsened with an accident in Assen, where he fell in the second lap while trying to recover positions, losing more valuable points. Additionally, in the Hungary GP race, he was eliminated at the start after a collision with his teammate, Jorge Martin. Bezzecchi has now accumulated three races without scoring points.
Rivola, who criticized Martin’s actions following the incident at Balaton Park, has shown understanding towards the pressure Bezzecchi is facing. “He really needs a break. He has lived through a lot of stress and difficult situations, so it’s understandable that he feels overwhelmed,” Rivola commented.
With the summer break in sight, the team hopes that this downtime will provide Bezzecchi with the necessary recovery to return to competition with renewed energy. The rider currently occupies the second position in the championship, but he must focus on regaining his best performance and avoiding mistakes that could compromise his career.
