“It's just a characteristic of the bikes" - Marco Bezzecchi and Francesco Bagnaia talk GP24 vs GP23.
Bagnaia finally found a way past Bezzecchi on lap 22, then took just one lap to overtake fellow GP24 rider Franco Morbidelli, for what became third place.
“In the first acceleration, the GP23 has a bit more. I’m not saying that it’s a big step, but it’s a little step that in some situations can help.” After a fifth place at Mandalika, the VR46 rider agreed with Bagnaia’s assessment that the GP23 can be stronger out of a corner: “Yes, it's true. But traction in the entry is a big problem for us.”
“For me, it's just a characteristic of the bikes. Our bike has more grip in angle. It's good. But for turning and for stopping it’s very bad. “I wasn't able to make the bike turn with the hard, I wasn't able to make the same lap times,” he said.
