Looking ahead to Brno, Bezzecchi anticipates a different challenge. "This circuit is completely different, it's super nice and I think we can really enjoy exploiting the potential of the MotoGP," he stated.

"Last year we were able to fully enjoy the potential of the bike and enjoy it with Marc -Mรกrquez- and with Pedro -Acosta-, so I hope to put up a fight and be in the mix," he added.
