Narrowly quicker than Fancesco Bagnaia’s pole time fr🤪om last season, Bezzecchi than got the better of the factory Ducati rider again in the sprint.

"It’s 𓃲fantastic 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. 

💯"Today I started w🌸ell but I made a mistake on the first corner to try and resist Pecco. 

"But fortunately🦩 I could manage to recover and go back in front. I’m very happy about tဣhis and I will try my best in the Grand Prix."

Unlike ♛his previous two wins, Be✅zzecchi was the clear favourite for the first time in his premier class career.

This added a different type of pressure to the Italian prior to the race, especially when hearing people sꦕay 🅰it was a guaranteed victory.

"It was difficult because everyone was saying ‘you will win for sure’, bu꧟t it is never sure," said the Mooney VR46 Ducati rider. 

"Also, fighting with these guys - two world champions on the p♏odium - also Brad [Binder], Jack [Miller] and Martin, you know, all the guy🙈s are fast. 

"So it was difficult to manage the pressure. It will be the same on Sunday because the eܫxpe🅺ctations are high. 

"I will t﷽ry my best as I did in the Spri𝔉nt. The result that I get will be the best that I can do."
