Franco Morbidelli had a really difficult season in MotoGP, in which he was never able to achieve the desired results – this despite the recovery he made with Monster Energy Yamaha and which was clear in the final stages of the championship.
The Italian considers that this end-of-season break is necessary after an exhausting year in which he was always:
– Everyone deserves some rest after such a long time. I was chasing others for 80 percent of the season and the other 20 percent I was chasing as well—much closer, but still chasing.
Morbidelli concluded: ‘Everyone deserves some rest to recover their energies in the right amount and in the right way and start 2023 in the right mood’.
