The 2022 R🙈ookie of the Year moved to the head of the points table with a debut victory in Argentina.

After a sixth pꩵlace for Bezzecchi in the COTA Sprint, Saturday winner Francesco Bagnaia n𒐪eeded only a single point to retake the title advantage on Sunday.

But that scenario disappeared in a cloud of gravel dust when the reigning champion fell from the race lead, while Bezzecchi shadowed his 🌺team-mate Luca Marini to reach fourth in the middle stages.

But while Marini went on to claim secoಞn♋d place and a debut MotoGP podium, Bezzecchi had taken too much out of his front tyre and slipped back to sixth. It was his ‘only regret’.

“I’m happy 🐻of course to lead the championship, it's a big satisfaction, but it's still nothing. It's very early,” said Bezzecchi, who will take an eleven-point advantage over Bagnaia into round four at Jerez next weekend.

🌺“So in the end, I'm happier for the weekend overall, because Friday I had a lot of problems. Saturday I managed to make a decent race, and today it was so easy to make a mistake, so I'm happy also about my pace.

“Unfortunately I think I push💎ed a little bit too early, I made a 2'03.5 nine or ten laps to the end, and in that lap I really finished the front tyre. So then the last 7 laps were really, really difficult for me. I lost places from Maverick and Miguel. This is perhaps the only regret. But apart from this I'm really happy.”

As well as Bezzecchi being on 🥂top of the riders’ standings, VR46 is now also leading the teams’ world championship.

“Congratulations to Luca, he deserves it, and to the whole team. This group is🔯 doing something amazing,” Bezzecchi said.

Bezzecchi and Sunday’s top Ducati rider Maꦑrini are both using last year’s 2022 sp💝ec Desmosedicis.
