Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia RS-GP) admitted that they are expecting “4th place or higher” in the starting lineup of the MotoGP German GP at the Sakusen ring circuit.
“Yes, I was expecting a little more, but in the end I was one tenth of a second away from pole position … I wasn’t good at qualifying and I knew I was out of the crash in my fourth practice. But still, I was close to achieving it, but when you get used to “Paul”, it’s true that the fourth knows little; in any case, it’s delicious. ” Said.
Regarding the German race, Aleix Espargaro said: “I’m at a very similar pace to Pekko and Fabio, but what’s more worrisome than speed is the deterioration of the rear tires. I’ll see who can handle this situation more than Barcelona.”
The only valid solution for Aprilia riders is “push hard at first, and if it gets worse at the end, you’re out of luck.”
Among his rivals, he assured that: He was beaten at 1 / 50,000 and 1/10 in the afternoon, so it’s true that the pace was similar and the position was a bit better, but I don’t think he was fast. “

About the chance of victoryAcknowledged: “I was a bit more affordable in Barcelona, not too far in terms of speed here, but I’m not so clear about it so I didn’t just look at who has it, so It’s important to understand that the race distance is always the same, but the 30 laps here are very long and the rear tire on the left is very hot for a long time, so the last 10 laps will give you a better pace. Eight or ten laps are not. It’s a matter of who is the fastest. “
And he said, “Aprilia is the best bike on the grid for me. I’m really sorry, but I don’t think it’s good for another bike. For me, mine is the best, but you Analyzing the championship, Ducati is the best on the street. I don’t know if there is any Ducati to lead the championship. “
