A broken collarbone suffered in training at the VR46 Ranch seemingly scuppered his hopes of challenging Francesco Bagnꦐaia and Jorge Martin in the MotoGP title battle.

He gamely competed through the pain barrier and arrived at Buriram the beneficiary of additional rest days 😼after last Sunday’s cancelled sprint in Australia.

“I can’t complain overall,” 🅺the Mooney VR46 rider said.

“I removedꦰ stitches which is a big step, my skin is not tight an🌌ymore. 

“I’m very proud of my scar! 

“I had one day more to rest, to do therapy three times per day. When I have nothing to do, I try to recover my shoulder and ar🐻m. 

“The arm especially is creating many problems, it was🌺 the worst part in Australia. I’m happy to finally go back on the bike to see how I feel.

“In Indonesia there was p🥂ain because the surgery was five days [earlierജ]. 

“In Australia it was more fatigue from Indones𒁃ia. The pain was🌟 less, but the fatigue was more. 

“I expectedꦆ to struggle le𒅌ss but unfortunately I didn’t. 

“🐠Here, I hope to be strongerඣ and more in shape. 

“I knew I had to suffer, my mentality was ready for this. I can h�ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ�andle the pain, I can suffer, so I hope to go well.”

'Target was not to recover, it was just to survive'

With just four rounds remaining, the timꦚe is now is he’s going to somehow find a way back into the title fight.

“At the moment, it’s tough,” he admitted. “I ღam a little bit too far. 

“Jorge and Pecco are,💦 in this moment, a little bit stronger than me.✃ 

“My target in Indonesia ✨was not to recover, it was just to sꦐurvive. 

“I saw from Enea, from Marc, that the more t𒁃ime you spend away, the more you need to recover.”

Burira🍰m does, at least, inܫspire confidence in Bezzecchi. 

“It’s a track I really like,” he said. “Last year I was fast, my first pole positio🌟n,𝐆 I had a wonderful moment. 

“I like hard brak𒈔ing, it gives me a lot of em💞otions. This track also has a flowing part, it’s something I really like. This year I’ve made a step in braking so I’m curious.”
