Iker Lecuona comments on MotoGP market rumors regarding HRC and Pol Espargaró: “ I would be surprised, KTM considers him one of the family members. »

Iker Lecuona spoke on the hottest subject of these hours in MotoGP: the passage of Pol Espargaró at HRC. A market movement that puts everyone in turmoil, especially KTM who risks being deprived of his spearhead. “  I don't know if it will happen, there are a lot of rumors », explained the rookie to the microphones of Onda Cero. “ I would be surprised because Pol has been with KTM for many years, I know he is happy with the brand's work, KTM loves him very much and considers him a member of the family »
The possible rejection ofAlex Marquez would be a lack of respect for the Moto2 champion. “ That would be a lack of respect...  I think they didn't give him the chance to prove himself. As Valentino Rossi said, he is the Moto3 and Moto2 world champion and no one gave him this place. He deserved this saddle and he is a two-time world champion ", highlighted Iker Lecuona. Everyone agrees that Honda should at least give Álex a chance.

KTM dreams of Pedrosa on the track

On the Austrian front, there are those who think (or dream) of the return to the race of Dani Pedrosa. Highly improbable hypothesis according to the Valencian pilot. “ He is very happy with what he does, he works with a MotoGP, an official team, they listen to him, they test and help the bike evolve very well. Dani Pedrosa decided to take some of the pressure off, I think he likes his job now. I can't say if he will leave again...  » Iker had the chance to make his debut last year at the last race in Valencia, taking advantage of the injury Miguel Oliveira. Now is the time to demonstrate its true potential, while being mindful of the need to proceed with caution. The main objective is to prove himself "best rookie of the year", but he will have to face Brad Binder et Alex Marquez itself.

In a truly unprecedented MotoGP season, it is difficult to make predictions. Marc Márquez is certainly the favorite, but “ I don't think he's invincible. Yamaha came very close and Suzuki too. Fabio Quartararo and Maverick Viñales can beat him »
