Marco Bezzecchi discusses recovery and challenges ahead of Silverstone

Marco Bezzecchi, a contender in the MotoGP championship, revealed he spoke with mentor Valentino Rossi during the summer break following a challenging mid-season. Bezzecchi won the first three races of the 2026 season but has failed to score points in the last four events, dropping from first to fourth in the standings. He attributes this slump to an incident in Hungary that led to a race ban, as well as crashes and injury setbacks. Aiming to make a comeback at Silverstone, Bezzecchi focused on recovery and training, understanding that he still needs medical clearance to compete. He is determined to regain momentum in the championship despite falling significantly behind the leader Jorge Martin.
