The last MotoGP race in Argentina has unleashed an unprecedented storm in the world of two wheels. Marco Bezzecchi, rider of the VR46 Racing Team, has raised doubts about the regularity of Marc Márquez’s Desmosedici GP25, raising the suspicion that there may have been a violation of the technical regulations imposed by Dorna and the FIM.
After observing Márquez’s extraordinary performance over the race weekend, Bezzecchi told the media: “He can’t win forever without anyone asking questions. It seems like the Desmosedici GP25 has something that other bikes don’t have. The organizers should investigate to ensure transparency and fairness in the competition.”
According to Bezzecchi, the speed and acceleration of Márquez’s bike were “abnormal” compared to those of the other Ducatis on the track, including that of reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia and Bezzecchi himself. The Italian rider’s suspicion focuses on the GP25’s engine, which could contain elements that do not comply with the regulations.
Faced with these accusations, Ducati promptly responded with an official statement denying any irregularity. “Our bikes fully comply with the technical regulations imposed by the FIM. Each component of the Desmosedici GP25 has been subjected to rigorous checks. There is no secret or trick behind Marc Márquez’s performance, but only talent and hard work.”
Marc Márquez also wanted to respond to the controversy, underlining how his performances are the result of a perfect adaptation to the Ducati: “I understand that when a rider wins, the others look for alternative explanations. But I know how much work I put in to adapt to this bike. There is no fraud, just commitment.”
Bezzecchi’s request has put MotoGP organizers under pressure, with fans divided between those who support his position and those who defend Márquez and Ducati. Dorna, in collaboration with the FIM, has announced that it will carry out additional checks on the Desmosedici GP25 to quell the controversy and ensure that all bikes comply with the rules.
Meanwhile, the MotoGP circus is preparing for the next event in Texas, with the unknown of how this controversy will affect the paddock environment. Will Marc Márquez continue to dominate or will we see a change of scenery? The debate remains open and fans are already waiting for new developments.
Bezzecchi’s accusations have sparked a heated debate about the transparency and fairness of MotoGP competitions. While Ducati and Márquez defend themselves, fans await the organizers’ decisions. The season has only just begun, and tension is already sky-high.
It remains to be seen whether the investigation will yield any surprises or whether this will remain just a controversy destined to fade away with time.
