Manzi completed his first WorldSSP dou𝓡ble of the season to reduce the championship deficit to Nicolo Bulega, however, his Race 1 win wasn’t without controversy.

Fighting for the lead, Manzi made♕ a move into turn six but clipped Federico Caricasulo on the way into the corner, whic♓h resulted in the Ducati rider crashing out.

• Petrucc🥀i: “I had no grip༒, couldn’t be quick in either race”

Manzi thenꦐ won the race after a red flag came out during the closing stages. But Ducati were unhappy and felt as though the Italian should have been disqualified, according to Manzi.

"I don’t know if it’s true but, according to what I heard, all the Duc🎐ati teams went to Race Direction to complain, because they wanted me to be disqualified," 𓆉Manzi told . "It was gnawing at them, since I won. 

"On Saturday night, many defended me after what happened ꧒in Race 1. But some of them wereඣ against me. 

"They have to shut up and noꦓt me๊ss with me. In the end, I still won, like I did on Saturday. 

"In racing mistakes happen, but then you apologise, as it should be. And that’s w💫hat I d𝓡id."

Manzi domiꦓnated Race 1 before the red flags were deployed before going on to the ♏same in Race 2.

C🐻hampionship leader Bulega, who has so often been the rider to beat in 2023, had no answers to the pace shown by the Ten Kate Yamaha rider. 

Able to express 🐲himself more than his days in Moto2, Manzi also admitted he’s ‘politically incorrect’ which can lead to some viewing him negat𝓡ively.

"I’m just politically incorrect. I don’t have to hide behind a cha♑racter I’m not. If they like me, fine. Otherwise I don’t care."
