MotoGP Aragon J2, Fabio Di Giannantonio dévoile un autre Aleix Espargaró : “lors des dernières courses, il a fait des choses, disons, pas si respectueuses”

Fabio Di Giannantonio was unlucky in his fast lap in Q1 from which he hoped to exit to join Q2. On his route he encountered Aleix Espargaró who had just cut the gas on the ideal line to deny Marc Marquez his rear wheel. Tumbling down like this, the Gresini driver had to manage to get between the two Spaniards. A fact noted by the race management who investigated but not sanctioned. The Gresini team and the Italian driver are of another opinion…

Aleix Espargaró is definitely in quite a few incidents in this Aragon Grand Prix, but each time, he does well. The latest one took place during the Q1 with an Fabio Di Giannantonio who explains his vision of events as follows: “ I had to turn off the gas completely, otherwise I was in his ass. So...it wasn't a pleasant situation, honestly ". The team Gresini requested a penalty for Aleix Espargaró, and the episode remained under investigation for two o'clock, until the stewards decided not to sanction the driver Aprilia. The Roman rookie, to avoid the RS-GP22, slipped and risked falling, but fortunately there were no material consequences other than the cancellation of his time.

Fabio Di Giannantonio: “ It wasn't a pleasant situation, honestly. »

Still, it's starting to do a lot, and listening to the teammateEnea Bastianini, other things happened in the peloton before which were not seen but which lead to this reflection from “DiGia”: “ I think that during the last races, he did things, let's say, not so respectful » we read on Motoracing. The rookie will start fifteenth this Sunday in Aragon: “ I had at least a 46,8 on the ropes, but luck wasn't on our side today. It must be said that with the bike we have made a huge step compared to Friday so we can be satisfied with the work. For tomorrow we have a good pace, I feel my bike, so with a good start we can play something important here ».

Et Aleix Espargaró, what does he say about it? “ Tout le monde attendait dans la ligne droite et je n’ai pas grand-chose de plus à dire. Puis je suis entré et j’ai essayé de rester à l’écart. “Diggia” s’est faufilé et peut-être que je l’ai dérangé, mais lui aussi était large. Même la Direction de Course l’a compris ainsi… Ensuite je suis resté au box car j’ai vu que tout le monde attendait encore. J’ai décidé d’attendre la fin, de faire un tour propre et j’ai fait 46,5, ce qui est un temps très rapide ». Trop poli pour être honnête l’officiel Aprilia ?
