The Pertamina Enduro VR46 racer duo, Marco Bezzecchi and Fabio Di Giannantonio, are looking forward to the challenges that will be presented in the eighth round of MotoGP 2024, which will take place at the TT Assen Circuit, Netherlands, this weekend.
Bezzecchi, who took pole position, sprint victory and a podium in the Dutch GP main race last year, said he was determined to close the gap on the strong riders ahead of him.
He is currently ranked 11th in the standings with 45 points. The Italian rider admitted that he can’t wait to race his bike on a track that is very special to him.
“Assen is one of my favorite tracks. One of the tracks where I have always been very fast and where I achieved my first top-class podium in 2022,” said Bezzecchi, quoted from VR46’s official statement, Friday (28/6).
