'Remember Mugello' -- a team saying that to back its rider hits home for someone who's been in the paddock like me. A guy who's ridden like that once can do it again. Everyone goes through stretches of slumps and injuries piling up. Having an environment that keeps believing in you without breaking is about the biggest thing a racer can have.

From Aprilia's perspective, if Bezzecchi doesn't bounce back, they'll be one axis short against the Marquez camp, so they must be desperate.

How many races in a row has Bezzecchi been struggling? I don't know the background.

These past several races, a string of crashes and injuries has kept him from scoring points the way he'd like.

Makes me want to rewatch his ride at Mugello — Bezzecchi was on a completely different level that day.

Just the comment 'his talent is real' without any concrete plan for turning things around is what bothers me.

It probably depends on how the injury heals too, so I guess we can only judge once he's actually riding again after his return.

A team openly backing their rider is important for supporting his mental state too.

Mugello was certainly a stunning ride, but it's true the slump since then is leaving a stronger impression at this point.
