• 2024 British MotoGP, Silverstone - Friday Practice Results

“It was a crazy day, but fortunatꦡely the result was no💞t bad,” he told media including wuqian0821.com in the Silverstone paddock.

“We had some issues this morning but then again in the afte💮rnoon. So we really couldn’t makﷺe some laps in a row, I had to make some short runs and especially in the afternoon.”

The positive for Bezzecchi was hi🌞s time attack pace, which he admits came as a surprise despite being so far behind with his ඣlong run programme.

“Fortunately, I was able to make some time attack laps and make it into the top 10 for Q2. For this I am happy but tomorrow we will have to work really hard for🧸 the race pace, because we are a step behind.”

When asked about what is missing for his race pace, Bezzecchi said: “Honestly, I don’t know because I never re🙈ally got the chance to do a 💫decent run.

“The main issue was never b🦋eing able to get a good run on the same set of tyres, so for the moment I don’t know!”

The Italian went on to explain what he felt when he suffered the suspected engine problem in the after𒁏noon.

“I don’t have a clear understanding of wha🔥t went wrong, as the team is still checking the issue,” he said.

“The bike was work📖ing, but there w♈as no power when I was trying to bump start it.”

“That is why I was running with the bike, to get it back (to the pits) - because I didn’t have enough 🌞tyres to use for the rest of the sཧession.”

Fortunately for the #72 he has tomorrow morning to try to get his long race pace dialled in before 🐭Q2:

“So the team are c⛦hecking the data and they will find out what the problem is for sure. But the 🍌session was so short for me and I couldn’t make a normal run because I only had the one bike, so I am not happy with the race pace.”
