Marini and Bezzecchi 11th and 12th in #CatalanGP

Luca Marini and Marco Bezzecchi crossed the finishing line of the CatalanGP respectively in eleventh and twelfth place, confirming the P2 among the Teams (314 points). A truly heart-pounding race, with a red flag immediately after the start, due to a multiple crash that also involved Marco (P3 overall with 189 points).

Starting from 18th on the grid on the Ducati Desmosedici GP of the Mooney VR46 Racing Team, Luca regained ground at the start and battled with the group fighting for the points. Capable of a good pace even at the end, he climbed up the rankings until he almost reached the top 10 (P7 in the Championship with 125 points).

A more complicated race for Marco however, out at the first start and forced to restart, after a bad crash, with the second bike with the soft on the front. From the P10 on the grid, he tried to manage the tyre compound in the best possible way and crossed the finishing line, scoring four points.

LUCA MARINI

The most difficult weekend of the year: we have struggled a lot and I also got a bad start today. A frustrating feeling, because I never had the pace, or the confidence or the acceleration I wanted. I’m sorry, I thought I had the potential for sixth, seventh place, but overall, considering how the GP went, it’s okay. It’s difficult to recover in today’s MotoGP and now we just have to put this race behind us and give it our all at Misano. A message for Pecco too, it doesn’t seem to be anything serious, but it was a really bad crash.

MARCO BEZZECCHI

A race to forget, also due to the Pecco accident, I hope he will recover soon. After the warm up I was happy because with the medium I had found a good compromise for the race. At the start however, I found myself on the ground, I had a big crash and a big pain in my left hand. I tried to restart the bike, but I couldn’t and I had to restart with the second bike which had the soft in front. I gave my all, I tried to do everything possible, the last few laps I was painful a lot. We go home, I’ll do all the necessary checks and try to move on to Misano, my home race.
