Antonelli says Bezzecchi can fight for 2027 MotoGP title

Formula 1 champion Kimi Antonelli spoke in San Marino about his first world title, his best wins and his friendship with MotoGP rider Marco Bezzecchi. Antonelli said that, despite winning the title, he is even hungrier than before, and that the feeling of winning makes him want to experience it again.

Bezzecchi, who was beaten by Marc Marquez in the Aprilia versus Ducati battle this season, has not been able to experience a title win. Antonelli praised his friend's season, said he was pleased to see him win again in Qatar, and said he believes Bezzecchi will return stronger next year.

Antonelli added that the two have discussed the season together, that he expects Aprilia to be competitive in 2027, and that Bezzecchi will have every chance to fight for the world title.
