MotoGP: for Andrea Iannone, Aleix Espargaró does not have the right approach

Newcomers to new teams are not having a good life in MotoGP this year. Johann zarco row with his KTM, Jorge Lorenzo fights with his Honda, and the fight between Andrea Iannone and the Aprilia is so difficult that the Italian was injured in Jerez during FP4. Joe the Maniac had to withdraw from the Spanish Grand Prix even though he had to ride with this RS-GP that his teammate Aleix Espargaró still managed to get into the top 10. Precisely, Iannone explains that the performances of the Spaniard are a problem for the development of Noale's motorcycle…

By reading what follows, we will have in mind the fate of John Zarco who has as a teammate the brother of the same Aleix and whose generous style on the track is almost similar... The main idea of Iannone is that adapting your driving style to your imperfect machine to still get the quintessence of it is doing yourself more harm than good. A theory that we could actually decline with KTM. But is it credible?

Iannone explain : " Aleix has gotten used to the bike and doesn't recognize many weaknesses, he has learned to live with certain problems. But they are not resolved. I don't want to adopt this way of working because it's not productive. I want to adapt to the Aprilia, but in a good way ».

Iannone is new to the team in 2019, but for I will espargaro This is already the third season with the Italians. “ Aleix rides very aggressively, but he just adapts to the problems, I prefer to ride slower and understand how a bike should behave in the race and how to progress, and over time you can see the progress he explains.

An approach which, according to him, has already advanced the RS-GP project: “ Aleix saw a lot of things through me and understood that we will never develop a bike for podiums in this way. We must therefore give Aprilia time to react. Be patient, I have to decide if I want to get a competitive bike or good results. If I choose the results, who will take care of the rest? ».

Aleix Espargaró took criticism of its development work very seriously. “ My style is the one best suited to riding the Aprilia, but not the one to win,” he said. “I set the traction control very low to get the most out of the bike's performance. Maybe it's not the right way to ride in MotoGP, we need to improve the bike because I'm at the limit now and I can't go any faster ».
