We report his remarks here without any formatting.
Aleix, congratulations on this pole position at home! You broke the circuit record this morning and obtained pole position this afternoon in this heat: how do you do it?
Aleix Espargaró : "
Honestly, I have no idea! This was the toughest round of the season so far. The conditions were really very delicate. I had spoken with the team and I wasn't sure if I would go under 39, but during the first run I saw that a lot of riders were in 39.0, so I said to myself "you have to go in the 38 to take pole position. It was all or nothing! I did a completely crazy ride, sliding everywhere and honestly I didn't really enjoy the ride. I was at the limit in every corner and when I activated the ride height device in the final straight, I said to myself "you finish the lap, you're a lucky man" and when I saw that I was P1, I was even happier. Yes, I'm very happy, and we'll see if it gives me an advantage for tomorrow's race. »
