Pertamina Enduro VR46 RACER Marco Bezzecchi said his good performance and P5 result at the San Marino GP in Italy was the result of his precise and safe strategy.
This followed Bezzecchi, who was eventually able to return to competing as one of the five fastest riders during the race, where he achieved P3 in qualifying, and P5 in the main race.
“In these conditions, anything can happen, I prefer not to take risks in a crucial phase, but to bring home a solid result,” Bezzecchi was quoted as saying by BetweenMonday (9/9).
Starting from the front row, Bezzecchi was in sixth position entering the first corner.
Having been in ninth place after the first lap, the Italian rider was able to keep up with the strong competition in the most difficult phase of the race, and he recovered to finish in last place.
With the points he earned in San Marino, he is in 11th position in the standings with 93 points.

“We are getting closer (to the frontrunners), and the sensation of riding is great,” said Bezzecchi.
On the other hand, his teammate, Fabio Di Giannatonio, is in eighth place in the standings with 119 points.
The racer who is familiarly known as Diggia finished in the top 10 at the San Marino GP, after battling an injury he suffered to his right shoulder.

“Overall, the balance is good. Right now the priority is recovery. I will try to make the most of these two weeks of rest,” said Diggia.
Pertamina Enduro VR46 Team Manager Pablo Nieto said both of his riders had given a solid performance at Ducati‘s home race.
“Marco finished the race very well after a difficult start. Likewise Fabio, who performed well despite still not being 100 percent recovered from his shoulder injury. He managed to overcome a tough weekend at home in the best way,” said Nieto.
On the other hand, the next round of MotoGP 2024 will continue in Emilia-Romagna, Italy, on September 20-22. (Z-6)

Marco Bezzecchi: Safe Strategy Pays Off at San Marino GP
Italian MotoGP rider Marco Bezzecchi of Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team secured a solid P5 result at the San Marino GP in Italy, crediting his precise and safe strategy for the achievement. According to Bezzecchi, his cautious approach was necessary in the ”crucial phase” of the race, where he opted to “bring home a solid result” rather than taking unnecessary risks [1].
Bezzecchi’s performance was impressive, considering he started from the front row and initially dropped to ninth place after the first lap. However, he demonstrated his skills by recovering and maintaining a strong pace to finish in fifth position. This result earned him 93 points, placing him 11th in the standings [1].
The Italian rider’s strategy seems to be paying off, as he has confirmed his focus on finishing the current season before making the move to Aprilia in 2025 [1]. Bezzecchi has already signed a deal with Aprilia, where he will line up alongside Jorge Martin [2]. His current team, VR46 Ducati, is reportedly considering five riders to replace him for the 2025 MotoGP season [2].
Meanwhile, Bezzecchi’s teammate, Fabio Di Giannantonio, finished in the top 10 at the San Marino GP, despite battling an injury to his right shoulder. Di Giannantonio, known as Diggia, is currently eighth in the standings with 119 points [1].
As the season progresses, Bezzecchi’s priority remains recovery and improvement. With his sights set on the Dutch GP, the Italian rider is determined to continue his upward trend and make the most of his time with VR46 Ducati before his move to Aprilia [1].
In other news, Franco Morbidelli has been confirmed to join the VR46 team in 2025, where he will replace Bezzecchi and ride alongside his existing crew [3]. This development has significant repercussions for the MotoGP paddock, particularly for young Italian riders who may have seen Bezzecchi as a role model and inspiration [3].
