After the Aragon Grand Prix, then two days of testing on the same circuit Tuesday and Wednesday with KTM, Pol Espargaro went to Madrid on Thursday morning to the headquarters of Reale Seguros, where he spoke with Jorge Herencias for the daily As.
Like everyone else, Pol was surprised by Valentino's speed of recovery and his fifth place in Aragon. “ He surprised everyone. Seeing him come to the circuit surprised us all.
“When we got on the bike on Friday in wet conditions we expected it to be great because it requires more risks and Valentino took them and meant he could race. He had a very good weekend and a positive race, finishing fifth, something only Rossi could do »
Marc Marquez will he be World Champion this year? “ Yes, I think so. Now is a very good period for him and he is having good races. He is very fast in Japan, Australia and even Valencia. There will be races that he really likes. »
“Vinales is fast at Phillip Island and placed well last year with Suzuki, but we don't know how he will perform in Malaysia and Valencia. All the numbers are for Marquez, but a fall or a small mistake can cost you dearly. Marc is a driver who is always very close to the limit. »
Espargaro Pol Is he happy with his current personal situation? “ Aragon was a good weekend. I think the bike is starting to reach an excellent level. In the last races we have been in the top 15 and in some we even finished in the top ten. »
“The next races are on circuits that I like, Japan and especially Australia. We'll see if we can repeat a top ten result. »
