Geoff Duke, John Surtees, Mike Hailwood, Giacomo Agostini, Mick Doohan, Valentino Rossi, Marc Márquez. A truly elite group, seven of the greatest riders in history, who all won five premier class grand prix in a row. And now, Marco Bezzecchi makes it eight, taking a convincing win in the US Grand Prix at the Circuit Of The Americas in Austin, Texas on Sunday.
When MotoGP commentator Matt Birt asked Bezzecchi how he felt about being in such distinguished company, he was surprised. “I’m speechless. It’s really tough to describe my emotions and how I feel, especially today. It’s pretty strange to hear my name close to these legends like Vale, like Marc and be lucky to be able to fight with them, like Marc, for example, that is the fastest and the strongest of the MotoGP grid right now.”
