The 24-year-old from Rimini arrived in the Moto3 world championship with some wild cards. The absolute debut in the 2015 Qatar GP: while Bezzecchi knew the paddock, Rossi signed one of his masterpieces by winning the top class race in front of the Ducatis of Andrea Dovizioso and Andrea Iannone. First full season in 2017: 23rd overall, with a third place in Japan. Then the explosion in the following season, that of the duel for the Moto3 title with Jorge Martin: the Spaniard the world crown, Marco, on Ktm, the honor of arms and third place, mocked in the final by Fabio Di Giannantonio. Rossi entrusted him with the Kalex of the VR46 team in 2020, in his second season in Moto2.

Impossible and unfair to establish a comparison between Bezzecchi, the pupil, and Rossi, the master. It is fair, however, to find some points in common. Marco also makes strategy one of his strengths. The Termas de Rio Hondo weekend, as well as the Portimao GP, highlighted excellent race management, letting go of his innate speed when necessary. And after 21 unsuccessful attempts, here is the first victory in MotoGP, the seventh in his career after the six divided equally between Moto3 and Moto2. Francesco Bagnaia, the main pursuer in the standings in the exciting all-Italian derby between riders and bikes, changed pace after unlocking his pace in 2021. Will it be the same for Bezzecchi?
