The Grand Prix continues but Pol Espargaró still cannot demonstrate that the choice of his employers at the Pierer Mobility Group to dismiss him in favor of Pedro Acosta was the wrong one. The last Thai Grand Prix was no exception to the rule, which also did not escape its team manager Nicolas Goyon…
It’s a Pol Espargaro in search of solutions for these last performances as a regular rider in MotoGP who took stock of a performance in Buriram ending in a very modest eighteenth place... " I didn't have the best feeling during the race » recognizes the Spaniard. “ I had a lot of trouble getting the bike into the corner and stopping it. I try everything I can, but I can't do it ».
« We will continue to work to reverse the trend » however insists the teammate of a Augusto Fernandez who only knows how to post one place better in front of him in the rankings in Thailand.
Pol Espargaro: “ I felt really uncomfortable on this bike »
On his technical choices, he specifies: “ I think we made the right tire choice, even though I was the only one to choose the hard front, but after finishing fourth in warm-up it was good for us. In the race, once the tires fall, I struggled too much, I couldn't stop the bike and I felt really uncomfortable on this bike ».
He finishes : " we are trying, but things are not happening at the moment. Let's go home and go to Malaysia with solutions to our problems! ". For his part, Tech3 team manager Nicolas Goyon added : " Pol Espargaró suffered from grip problems all weekend. He is going through a difficult time and don't really appreciate his conduct, but I know he is working very hard to try to find solutions in the near future ».
The Frenchman concludes: “ the team is going through a difficult time at the moment, but again, see Brad Binder doing his things with a similar bike is what motivates us all. We have a week off to analyze our last three weeks and try to find solutions in Sepang. See you in Malaysia! ».
