Aleix Espargaró

Aleix Espargaró has convinced the FIM commissioners after the Sprint race of the French Grand Prix this Saturday. A competition where he fought fiercely against Marco Bezzecchi and Alex Marquez, and certainly more with the latter. The Aprilia official says he drove "cleanly", unlike the Gresini driver, and he does not understand why no sanction was imposed, contrary to what he understood during the meeting the day before with the officials. A speech also heard at Bagnaia against Marc Marquez and Marini on Brad Binder. But for the dean of the set, the subject is closed. Besides, for him, these commissioners no longer exist…

Certainly, it seems that the pilots talk more about FIM stewards who did not impose any sanctions in this race Sprint than the competition itself which was nevertheless beautiful. And it will end up being damaging, even if Aleix Espargaro swears that he will no longer bring his voice to this endless controversy… “ I don't want to say more about the commissioners. From now until Valencia, please don't talk to me about it because I won't respond. It's not worth the shot » we read about him on motorcyclesports.

He expresses his disappointment thus: “ there's absolutely no difference since the Friday meeting, so I'm just trying to enjoy life as much as possible. I'm going to ride how I feel, I will try to be clean on the track because I am a good driver. If I touch someone and they want to penalize me, they will. Or not. We see the same actions many times, like in Jerez, and there has been no reaction. For me, that says it all. I hope they will do their best and that we will do the same on the track. For me, they no longer exist ».

Aleix Espargaró: “ we have to forget about the sanctions, because the only thing we are doing is creating tension between the pilots »

The official Aprilia also makes this mention on which everyone will agree: “ we have to forget about the sanctions, because the only thing we are doing is creating tension between the pilots ". About contacts with Marco Bezzecchi et Alex Marquez, Aleix Espargaró said : " I didn't touch anyone. I think they showed the photos. Alex Marquez hit me, my leg was completely black from his tire and I passed him cleanly under braking, as you can see on Maverick Viñales' on-board camera. I am a good pilot, I will remain so. If they want to try to overtake like that every race, I hope the stewards do something. Otherwise it will be like today and we will continue ».
