Bezzecchi enjoyed a breakout sophomore campaign in the premier class with the VR46 Ducati squad, scoring three grand prix victories on his way to third in the championship.
The Italian has elected to remain with VR46, albeit on a year-old bike for 2024, despite being offered a factory deal to join Pramac.
Bezzecchi says part of his decision was down to the human group he would be leaving behind.
While nine-time grand prix world champion Rossi doesn't have a hands-on approach to the day-to-day running of the VR46 team, he remains involved with all of his Academy members away from the track in helping them continue to develop.
When asked by Autosport in an exclusive interview how it is dealing with the pressure of being associated with Rossi's team, Bezzecchi says "it's more of a privilege" than anything because of the support he gets from the MotoGP legend.
"Well, it's like this. The pressure is there but it's normal in every sport," he began.
"When you arrive in a high level you have to perform and deal with pressure and you know that the pressure is going to come sooner or later.
