Aleix Espargaro: ‘You have to be patient, add up and be regular’

Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia RS-GP), 3rd at MotoGP Motorland Aragon GP After taking his sixth podium of the season, he claimed:You have to be patient, add up, and do it regularly. Well, I’ve been saying for a long time, you have to be patient, this is MotoGP and anything can happen…there are rewards.”

For Espargaro, the Quartararo and Marc Márquez case was a “race incident, and in the end there was a lot of talk about ordering from Ducati, blah blah blah, but Enea won, so I think that’s good for the championship. He’s made it this far in the championship, and in reality Pecco is running at a very high level, so it’s very positive that he’s not doing much in the championship.”

“I was very surprised by Brad Binder. I’m a big Brad fan. Honestly, he’s one of my favorite riders. Because he can pull the oil out of the worst bikes on the grid. It’s incredible what he’s been doing this year. He surprised me. It’s a shock He braked very late and could not pass.Otherwise I think he could have gone with EneaSurely Ducati would have gone, but I would have calmed down the end of the race a little bit,” admitted Espargaro.

Espargaro remembered “I was studying him for a few laps and he was destroying his tyres, but I got a little better.”, a little more pace, changed traction control in the final corner, a little more power and went to the second map and prepared the entrance to the back straight very well. And I did the braking, it’s not easy. Because Brad brakes very late, KTM brakes a lot and ideally on the last lap, Binder can’t do that. Closing all the gaps and potentially missing out on the podium, he tried with two laps to go. ”

“When you see “Quartara Roo Out” on your bike’s dashboard, instead of saying “Relax,” do the opposite, well What’s the point of finishing 5th or 6th? It wasn’t quite like that, so I took a few more risks, but on top of that, it was very important to get a podium finish before I flew out to the Tour, so it gave me confidence to be back in the game.” Aprilia Rider Satisfaction Guaranteed.

“I don’t want to be opportunistic. Pecco is doing very well, but he mostly has my points. I am so close to the beginning that I have always believed. It’s true that Fabio makes very few mistakes and getting a zero from him here was not what I expected, but the championship was a bomb and we three of him to the end. reached. It’s very tight,” says Aleix Espargaro.

“I am very much looking forward to the Asia tour. This year is a very good time. Every year we have been faced with a little bit of uncertainty, last year it was a little longer, but this year we are going to a very beautiful circuit, part of the world, very beautiful corners, so I feel that way. So I’m really looking forward to it,” admitted Espargaro.

“Getting 200 points and being 17 points behind the leader is crazy. There’s not much to explain, so I’m trying to keep my feet on the ground and spend a few days in Tokyo with my wife settling in, continuing and enjoying what we do. We will fail more,” insists the Aprilia rider.
