Alex Crivile begins betting on Aleix Espargaro

Ambassador Woonkly and the only Spanish 500cc World Champion, Alex Crivile, We will analyze the news of the Catalan Grand Prix, the ninth round of the season at the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit this weekend.

After eight races, the MotoGP title race will be four issues: Fabio Quartararo, Aleix Espargaro, Enea Bastiany and Pekkobanyaia. Who do you think is the most regular?

There seem to be four problems in MotoGP. So far, the most regular is Aleix Espargaro. In addition to winning, he achieved four consecutive podiums. This means that he is virtually glued to Fabio Cartataro. He is only 8 points away from Fabio Quartataro. As a regular, Aleix Espargaro stands out from the rest.

Who do you think are the favorites of the four drivers who won the Catalunya Grand Prix?

I think there are some favorites to win the Catalunya Grand Prix. Fabio Quartararo is a MotoGP leader and loves the Barcelona-Cataluña circuit. After winning Mugello, Pecco Bagnaia will also participate. Of course, Aleix Espargaro running next to his yard at his home. Enea Bastianini shows that he is a slightly irregular rider. It’s all or nothing. Or win or lose. When he’s in front, he usually goes out all the way, so it’s a rider to take into account. He has a technique that allows him to keep the tires at the end of the race and he usually runs away with it. Predicting the Catalan Grand Prix is ​​very difficult due to the lack of solid leaders like Marc Marquez and Valentino Rossi in the past. It’s very tight now, but Aleix Espargaro is racing at his home and has already won the race this year, so I’m going to bet.

Aleix Espargaro arrives vigorously after winning the podium four times in a row and only settles on the victory at the Gran Premi Catalunya. Which do you think you can do more, mind or mind?

Aleix Espargaro will be competing in the Catalunya Grand Prix. It’s too early to think about the title because there are so many races left. Now it’s even better to win the race, always try to finish in the top 5 without fail, and get into the top 3. The victory goes through his head, and it’s a good race to try because he runs at home and in front of the fans. A priori, running at home is always an advantage as it helps and motivates you. The people are in your favor and this pushes you. The opposite happens, and the fact that you race at home creates more pressure for some riders. Running at home is always positive at a high rate.

The indefinite loss of Marc Marquez put Honda in a difficult situation. How do you think it will affect the development and evolution of the RC213V?

On the other hand, I am very pleased that Marc Marquez has decided to undergo surgery. For a great champion like Marc Marquez, it wasn’t where he was. He will have surgery and will be back in good health. Meanwhile, riders like Stefan Bradl and Pol Espargaro try to find the right path for the Honda RC213V in another job. They have time to try. To date, everyone knows that Honda is not the best bike and needs to be changed to make it easier to ride. In this regard, I don’t think they will get worse. Honda needs to test the part and make changes to get it on the right track.

How do negative situations affect and how do pilots deal with them?

When the factory tells you not to rely on you, it affects the pilot and he doesn’t go with the ease that he should go. When you have a problem, you have to move forward. The important thing is to stay cool and work. You have to think about the present, not the future. You have to get the manager to do his job and try to have a good season. When the future is in the air, you are a little more nervous in orbit. If you are a professional and veteran pilot, it shouldn’t affect you, but it does.

There are two victories at the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit. Why is it special for a driver to win in front of a fan?

The highest awards are all the same points, but winning in front of the fans is more valuable as it demands more of yourself. In a race at home, your energy will flow more and the results will be closer.

What are the best memories of the Barcelona-Cataluña circuit?

Perhaps my best memory was in 1999. Tadayuki Okada was over a second ahead on the last lap and I started cutting him in a three tenth split. At the stadium I overtook him inside, and there I remember the circuit going crazy. That victory and the victory at the 1995 Barcelona-Catalunya circuit are engraved in my head.

What are your expectations for the MotoGP podium at the Gran Premi Catalunya?

I hope it’s close, but I think it will be a race very similar to Mugello. On the podium, Peco Bagnaia, Fabio Quartararo and Aleix Espargaro will push and fight for victory.

Pedro Acosta lost weight from his shoulders after recording his first Moto2 victory at Mugello. Do you think you can overcome the 63 points that separate him from the leaders of this category, Celestino Bietti and Ai Ogura?

It’s hard to overcome so many points, but what I see as much as possible is that Pedro Acosta has won many races. This can make your rivals uneasy and make them mistaken. In this case, yes, it can be remounted. The Moto2 title battle is still very open and Pedro Acosta may start to worry about his rivals.

Do you think Sergio García Dors will be able to open the gap to the title race by repeatedly winning the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit last season?

Sergio García Dors is a favorite of this year’s Moto3 class winners. He is a leader with a 28 point advantage over his teammate Izan Gebara. I think this season will be his year, but it’s still a bit early to think about the title. You have to think about winning the race. He is a person who is physically and mentally ready to become a champion.
