Why Bezzecchi could win the 2023 Indian MotoGP

Having won the Argentine MotoGP and French MotoGP this term, Bezzecchi will be keen to record his third victory of the campaign in India.
What did he say?
"At the beginning, I felt incredible. With the adrenaline from the start, the painkillers, for sure it helped. So at the start, I felt great and was catching Jorge [Martin]," Bezzecchi said after the 2023 San Marino MotoGP.
"But then I started to have a bit of pain, especially in the change of direction so in sector one I made a few small mistakes. Lap by lap I was losing a bit but in some laps, I was still able to fight a bit.
"But in other laps, I was making small mistakes and missing a bit of power to try to move the handlebars from left to right. "From the second half, but especially the last three laps I really suffered. I really had a lot of pain."
