Aleix Espargaró is a character and this is particularly revealed when the question arises about a pilot. He is then honest with the collar, or by rushing into the stretchers like with Marc Marquez during a qualification where he wanted to follow his wheel, even if it meant apologizing after the anger had passed. But he may also be able to defend the widow and the orphan and, precisely, in Misano, there is a victim identified in the person of Remy Gardner, whom KTM will leave by the wayside after a season in MotoGP with his 2 Moto2021 crown on his head. A situation that the Aprilia official does not appreciate…
Although this does not concern him, since he is far from the news KTM as a pilot Aprilia, even if two of his colleagues currently under the Austrian flag will come to his Noale camp in 2023, Aleix Espargaró wanted to give his feelings about the astonishing case Remy gardner who finds himself as the big loser in the game of musical chairs of the transfer market. KTM, his employer, criticizes him for his lack of professionalism which, in addition to excluding him from the grid, gives him a bad reputation. However, we do not become World Champion of Moto2 playing the dilettante. At least a priori, and this title only dates from last year…
Aleix Espargaró: “ what did they expect from him? That he wins races and the title?«
So this situation inspires the words of the Spaniard: “ I heard that about Remy, and it's sad, really. I'm really sorry for him » begins the teammate Maverick Vinales. “ I cannot give the slightest explanation about his case. I don't understand why they treat him like that. I mean, it's not such a bad year. He won a title last year. He doesn't have the best bike on the grid this season ».
He adds : " so what did they expect from him? That he wins races? I don't understand. I am in solidarity with him because it is difficult to arrive in MotoGP and show your potential. Everyone is fast there. There are a lot of competitive bikes. So the real question is: what did they expect from him? If they expected them to win races and the title then they can fire him. But of course, we couldn't expect that from him. So it's sad, really ».
