About Marco Bezzecchi

Marco Bezzecchi (born 12 November 1998 in Rimini) is an Italian motorcycle racer.
Bursting onto the Italian scene as runner-up in the CIV Moto3™ title in 2014, Italian Marco Bezzechi then went one better in his second year in the series as he took the title with an incredible seven wins. After two appearances in Moto3™ on the world stage with San Carlo Team Italia in 2015, Bezzechi also did two further races in 2016 with Mahindra Racing, as well as showing good promise in the FIM CEV Repsol and winning in both his appearances back in the CIV in Italy. For 2017, Bezzechi moved up to Moto3™ full time to partner compatriot and former CIV rival Manuel Pagliani at CIP. Fighting for Rookie of the Year, the Italian just missed out but took a first podium finish, and moved to Redox PruestelGP for 2018. Nine podiums in 2018, including three victories, saw Bezzecchi mount a lightweight class title assault against eventual Champion Jorge Martin. Despite missing out on the title, a hugely impressive Moto3™ campaign means Bezzecchi secures a Moto2™ seat with Red Bull KTM Tech 3 in the Moto2™ class for 2019.
