VR46 MotoGP duo branded “superheroes” after Indonesia sprint podium

The duo come to Indonesia carrying collarbone injuries, with Marini missing the Indian and Japanese GPs with his while Bezzecchi suffered a fracture in a training incident last Saturday. Bezzecchi only arrived in Indonesia on Friday to be cleared to race having had surgery last Sunday, and went on to finish third in the sprint while Marini was second from a maiden pole. Honda rider Marc Marquez branded the pair “superheroes” for what they achieved.

The champagne was good, but it was very hot. Tomorrow will be difficult, I think.” Bezzecchi added that the pain in his collarbone is “nothing crazy”, while adding that his reasoning for trying to race in Indonesia in the first place was not about fighting for the championship. “Anything can happen. For me, my target… I came here not to fight for the championship but to keep myself in the game, to stay close to them, not too far from them, and also to Brad who is very fast and strong,” he noted.
