Marco Bezzecchi admitted that his crash out of the lead of the San Marino Grand Prix “hurts a lot”, but denied suggestions that he put too much pressure on himself in his home MotoGP race.
After putting his Aprilia on pole with a record-breaking lap in qualifying, Bezzecchi covered the inside line at the start to hold the lead from Marc Marquez into Turn 1. This was already a significant achievement for him, having lost the lead at the start in the last three races to his Ducati rival.
