Marco Bezzecchi puzzled by slow performance in Japanese GP sprint

Marco Bezzecchi, participating in the Japanese Grand Prix sprint on October 3, expressed confusion over his performance, claiming he was 'one second too slow' despite showing strong pace in practice. Bezzecchi, racing on Michelin's medium rear compound, was one of only two riders to choose this tire for the event, alongside Jack Miller from Pramac Yamaha. The sprint race took place at the Motegi circuit, and no current standings or results have been noted as the event is still ongoing.
