"It’s fantastic to finally get a victory in the♛ sprint," Bezzecchi said to . "Apart from Argentina and Mugello I’ve not really been perfect in the sprint and I was always losing something.

"But fortunately I could manage to recover and go back in front. I’m very happy💛 about this and I will try my best in the Grand Prix."
Unlike his previous two wins, Bezzecchi wa⛄s the clear favourite for the first time in hi🤡s premier class career.
This added a different type of pressure to the Italian prior 🍌to the race, especially when hearing people say it was a guaranteed victory.

"Also, fighting with these guys - two world champions on the podium - also Brad [Binder], J⛎ack [Miller] and Martin, you know, all the guys are fast.
"So it was difficult to manage the pressure. It will be th꧂e same on Sunday because the expectations are high.🌠
"I will try my best as I did in the Sprint. The result that I get will be the best that I𓄧 can do."
