Aleix Espargaró disagrees with Fabio Quartararo about his chances of retaining his MotoGP world title. After a French Grand Prix which he regretted having suffered since a fourth place which should have been worse without the falls produced in front of him, the Frenchman had warned that he was not a favorite to win the cup this year. But the official Aprilia, who finished just ahead of him at Le Mans, and who follows him in the provisional general classification, is more optimistic about the chances of the official Yamaha to double the stake taken in 2021...
Aleix Espargaró At the age of 33, he is having his best season in MotoGP. His four podiums, which he has enjoyed since the first step in Argentina, position him second in the championship, four points behind the leader fabio quartararo. The latter dropped points on French soil where he hoped to be, on the contrary, conquering to better then face deadlines theoretically less favorable to his Yamaha, which offers him very little room for maneuver.
A disappointment which was a blow to the morale of the tricolor who will be able to smile again by reading the different analysis of the facts of the one he was never able to overtake at Le Mans: Aleix Espargaro. The official Aprilia said so on super7moto : " I don't see the others as regular and fast. Some are faster, some are more consistent, but none are faster and more consistent at the same time ". And he gives examples to convince: “ Pecco Bagnaia is very fast, but at the moment he is not constant, the Suzukis are constant, but I think they are not as fast as us. Fabio is therefore the man to beat ».
Aleix Espargaró: “je suis fier de qui je suis, même si être aussi direct peut créer des problèmes"
During this season, Aleix Espargaró stepped up to the plate to regret the wheel suckers who are flourishing in the discipline. And he particularly attacked the family Marquez, and more precisely to the eldest Marc. Looking back, he recognizes that he went hard, but accepts and regrets nothing... Because, above all, rushing into trouble is his style: “ sometimes I don't like it, but I'm proud of who I am, even if being so direct can cause problems. But I tell you what I think to your face… It's true that sometimes we have to be more politically correct, but we standardize everything too much and I don't like that ».
On some occasions he admits to exaggerating, but he doesn't feel like he disrespected anyone. As during the recent controversy with the brothers Marquez who were waiting for an aspiration: “ I admire Marc a lot, but I criticized two specific cases and I do not regret it. I think in both cases, from my point of view, they have not been well understood. It's true that in Marc's case I exaggerated. I admit that he surpassed me, because what he did, I did too and many more times than him. But I'm normally thousands of miles away from him, and I was really shocked that he did it and that's when I spoke my mind. I don't think I disrespected him and I gave my opinion, but in hindsight I overdid it with Marc because I did it several times ". That’s what it says…
