Aprilia’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marco Bezzecchi admits he was “always quite worried” about 2025 MotoGP pre-season testing even before 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin’s injury as “I didn’t really know what to do”.

The three-time grand prix winner had never been a factory rider prior to the pre-season of 2025, having previously ridden year-old Ducati machinery at 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:VR46 Racing.

Marco Bezzecchi takes charge at Aprilia

With Bezzecchi als🌟o new to the project, he has had to spearhead testing of the 20🎃25 RS-GP, though has been impressive.

He ended the Sepan💧g test inside the top 10 and set Aprilia’s fastest e🎶very lap of Buriram on day two of the Thailand test.

Bezzecchi says Aprilia “gave me a lot of trust”, which helped to calm his nerve🌺s having been “worried” a🦩bout his new project.

“Well, it has been a positive pre-season for me, especially because of what happenꦚed in Malaysia with the injury of J𝓀orge,” he said.

“Everyone was quite worried. L🔯et’s say, I was always worried because it🌄 is my first time as a factory rider and I didn’t really know what to do.

“But after, fortunately they gave me a lot of trust an🍬d it was positive for me to see the go🅠od mood and everyone really charged up to work.

“So, this gave me extra confidence to try to make the best poss🔯ible and it was a positive pre-season.”

He added: “I’m happy. I felt a positive ambience for me. Of course, it’s completely d🦋ifferent to what I was used to having.

“But, to be honest, I also found so many good people that work a lot - not only ❀here but at home. So, yeah, very happy to be an Aprilia rider.”

Bezzecchi praised the front-end of the RS-🙈GP and feels his 🦩adaptation to the bike is going well, but notes that he is struggling on new tyres in qualifying trim despite his eye-catching Buriram lap.

“To b𒉰e honest, I felt good since Montmelo,” he said, referring to the post-season Barcelona test last November.

“Of course the adaptation took t🥂ime and I think I’m still adapting in some areas of the riding.

“But to be honest, it’s a bike that immediately gave me goo🎀d front confidence. This is a good key to adapt quite well.

“When you have front feeling, at the end everything becomes a little bit easie💖r.

“But let’s say that with new tyres, to be honest, I’m still struggling, the bike is reacting in a pretty different way when we put on new tyr💛es. So, the adaptation still is not completed.”
