JAKARTA - Cycling VR46 Racing Team racer, Marco Bezzecchi, made a breakthrough by becoming the fastest in the 2023 Argentine MotoGP. Bezzecki admitted that his slick appearance could not be separated from Valentino Rossi's big role.

The Italian racer did not hesitate to admit that he owed Rossi something. The reason is that thanks to the role of the legend, he is now able to appear in the most prestigious motorcycle racing competition in the world.

Bezzecchi is one of The Doctor's students. It is natural that Rossi has an important and vital role in Bezzecchi's career as a racer.

"Without Valentino (Rossi) and support from the family, I think it is almost impossible (to become a racer). Vale gave me the opportunity to develop as a person, as well as as a racer," Bezzecchi said, as quoted by GPOne.

"I was able to tread in the world championship and also stepped in MotoGP because of it. Thank you to him (Rossi)," he continued.

Behind Rossi's figure who he considers an important role in the continuity of his career as a racer, Bezzecchi also doesn't forget his family as the most important supporter.

"It is very difficult for my family, as many other racers know, the family is making a lot of sacrifices even though now everything is fine," said Bezzecki.

"When we are having a good moment, of course we will join in remembering the difficult moments and feeling blessed. Not only my father, also the mother and sister who supported me from day one," he continued.

The name Bezzecki managed to steal the attention at the beginning of the 2023 MotoGP series. He slowly started to shine with his slick appearance and won the Argentine MotoGP.

Although not the champions, in fact Bezzecchi was able to win the fastest podium after winning far from other racers.

Regarding his victory at the Argentine MotoGP, Bezzecki revealed, this result was not really predicted by him.

"It's fantastic, it's something that's hard to explain, it's amazing. I didn't expect this when I left the house (to go to Argentina). When I started riding a motorbike, I felt very good and integrated with the bike," Bezzecki said.
