A broken collarbone suffered in training at the VR46 Ranch seemingly scup🍎pered his hopes of challenging Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin in the MotoGP title battle.

He gamely competed through the pain barrier and a♒r♏rived at Buriram the beneficiary of additional rest days after last Sunday’s cancelled sprint in Australia.

“I can’t complain overall,” the M♛ooney VR46 rider said.

“I⭕ removed stitches which is a big step, my s🌟kin is not tight anymore. 

“I’m very proud of my scar! 

“I had one day more to rest, to do therapy three times per day. Whಌen I have nothing to do, I try to recover my shoulder and arm. 

“The arm especially is creating many problems, it was the worst part in Australia. I’m happy to finally go 💜back on the bike to see h𝓀ow I feel.

“In Indonesia there was pain because the surg൩ery was five days [earlier]. 

♒“In Australia it was more fatigue from Indonesia. The pain was less, but the fati🌳gue was more. 

“I expected ꦕto struggle less but unfortunately I didn’t. 

“Here,😼 I hope to be strongerꦏ and more in shape. 

“I knew I had to suffer, my mentality was ready for this. I can handle the pain, I can suffer, so I hope to go we💙ll.”

'Target was not to recover, it was just to survive'

With just four rounds remaining🌊, the time is now is he’s going to somehow find a way bac൩k into the title fight.

“At the moment, it’s tough,” he admitted. “I am 🉐a little bit too far. 

“Jorge 🌃and Pecco are, in this moment, a litꦫtle bit stronger than me. 

“My target in Indonesia was not to recover, it was just to suꦕrvive. 

“I saw from ꧑Enea, from Marc, that the more time you spend away, the more you need to recover💮.”

Buriram doe🌺s, at least, inspire confidence in Bezzecchi.𝔍 

“It’s a track I really like,” heಌ said. “Last year I was fast, my first pole position, I had a wonderful moment. 🍸;

“I like hard braking, it gives me a lot ofꦺ emotions. This track also has a flowing part, it’s something I really like. This year I’ve made a step in braking so I’m curious.”
