But the VR46 Ducati♉ star will ‘keep working and keep fighting’ to get back on tꦯerms with Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin.

Bezzecchi is the only rider to have beaten man-of-the-moment Martin in the las𓂃t six races (three rounds) courtesy of his runaway victory in the Indian Grand Prix.

However, the young Italian finished behind both title leader Bagnaia and Martin in both&nb൩sp;Motegi races, with fourth place in the Sprint followed by sixth in the storm-shortened Sunday grand prix.

“I’m not looking at the championship much,” Bezze♉cchi told MotoGP.c🌠om

“Of course, ꦏI wanted to be closer to the other guys, but first of allᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ in the race. Try to fight with them [for race victories] and then the championship is more a consequence of that.

“But we are still there, so we’ll keep working and we k🥃eep fighting.”

Mဣartin is now just three points from Bagnaia with six ro💮unds and a potential 222 points still up for grabs.
