Massimo Rivola: ‘The real Bez is the one of last year and not that of this year… There are signs of talent that are unequivocal’
That's the belief of Aprilia Racing CEO Maverick Vinales, who has signed the young Italian on a multi-year deal alongside current Pramac Ducati championship leader Jorge Martin from 2025.
“At the end, my feeling is that the real Bez is the one of last year and not that of this year… And for this reason, I still hope they keep the ‘fake’ to get better results for us!” Rivola joked.Asked to pick out what impressed him about Bezzecchi, Rivola cited wet weather ability and last year’s dominant Indian MotoGP victory.
“You could argue this year he is not delivering a good performance despite for example, Marc Marquez having the same bike and always fighting for top positions. Rivola added that Bezzecchi’s character seems to combine elements of Aprilia’s current race-winning factory line-up - Aleix Espargaro and Vinales - and the soon-to-arrive Martin.
