Birthplace : Rimini DOB : 1998-11-12
Height : 174 cm Weight : 61 kg
A full-time debut arrived for Bezzecchi in 2017 , when he contested the year aboard the underpowered CIP Mahindra machine . He moved to the PruestelGP KTM squad for 2018 and fought for the championship , scoring three wins and six further podiums along the way . He endured a baptism of fire in his rookie Moto2™ campaign aboard an uncompetitive KTM chassis , but a switch to the Sky Racing VR46 team and Kalex hardware for 2020 resulted in two Moto2™ race wins and four further podiums . He was expected to kick on and fight for the title in the same set-up in 2021 , but that never quite materialised , despite one race win and seven podiums . He moved up to MotoGP™ in 2022 with Mooney VR46 Racing Team aboard a Ducati GP21 and is on course to end the season as the Rookie of the Year .
