The fall was brutal during the warm up of the German Grand Prix for Aleix Espargaró. At first, he seemed to recover more or less unscathed, but the Aprilia official who was hopeful of making his RS-GP shine on the Sachsenring then complained of breathing difficulties...
As a result, he was taken to Chemnitz hospital. Of course, his meeting ended there. The 28-year-old pilot was placed under observation. No fracture was found but chest trauma was detected, which explained his difficulty breathing.
Regarding his condition, he declares: “ I'm doing pretty well. But I'm going to spend a few more days in the hospital. I hope to get home as soon as possible ". This first part of the season was hell for Pol's older brother who stood out unfavorably shortly after the start of the same German Grand Prix with his KTM.
He has only led his RS-GP to the finish on four occasions in nine races, and his best place is that of ninth taken at Le Mans. He only scored sixteen points in a championship where he appears in eighteenth place. Finally, he has already suffered two sanctions from officials for wandering at a senator's pace on the trajectory in the middle of a qualifying session...
no wonder @AleixEspargaro it was slow to get back to his feet 😣
It was a nasty looking highside for the @ApriliaOfficial laugh 💢
