Barely dismounted from his official Aprilia RS-GP 24 after securing pole position during qualifying for the British Grand Prix MotoGP 2024 at Silverstone, Alex Espargaro spoke in front of the cameras of the official website MotoGP.com with the joy of obtaining his 7th career pole position on the circuit where he already won last year...
We report his remarks here without any formatting.
Aleix, what relationship you have with this place, the first podium, the victory last year, and now you have just smashed the lap record! Have you ever had a better ride than this?
Alex Espargaro : " No, I do not think so. This ride was incredible. I must say that I took a lot of risks. It wasn't in my plans to take that kind of risk, but I did a very good lap on the first soft tire, but it wasn't enough. I was behind the three factory Ducatis and I said to myself “you have to try, you have to go hard or nothing” and I really took a lot of risks. And the trick was perfect: when I saw 57.3, I laughed and said “That’s incredible”. I would never have thought that in these conditions, because it is quite cold with the soft front tire, we could achieve this time. »
