With racing in short supply during MotoGP's summer break, the focus of attention in the world championship is monopolised by the buzz of possible market movements. Aside from the case of Marc Marquez, who is devoting this summer to unravelling the scenario of his hypothetical departure from Honda, Marco Bezzecchi is another rider on the grid who is attracting a lot of attention.
The 24-year-old VR46 Ducati rider has been a sensation this season, winning twice on Sunday (Argentina and Le Mans) and once on Saturday (Assen), as well as finishing on the podium in half of the eight rounds so far. When the championship gets underway again at Silverstone on the first weekend of August, Bezzecchi will be third in the standings, just one point behind Pramac's Jorge Martin in second and 36 points behind leader Francesco Bagnaia on the factory Ducati. It will probably be known by then whether he will remain with his current team next season or wear the Pramac suit, which are the two options currently available to him.
