Aleix Espargaró, who finished sixth in Misano Adriatico and dropped to third place in the MotoGP world championship, said that he was generally satisfied, although he admitted that “the truth is that I was not very competitive all weekend of the week”.
“In the race I didn’t feel bad and especially in the first two thirds I was competitive, but not enough, certainly; there was a moment I thought I could catch Fabio, but I wasn’t at Maverick’s level, that here in Misano he was always very fast and with the changes of direction he could not have his speed”, explained Espargaró.
“I said at the beginning of the year, that these two, Austria and Misano, worried me a lot. Two sixths. Before Assen I was at 32 points, now I’m at 33. We have to be positive “, insisted. the Aprilia rider.
“I made a very good start, but I think that if in the first laps I had been there, third, fourth and in the group, behind Maverick, maybe I would have been too long, because there were really 15 or 18 laps in. the race where I rode at the same speed as them, but we know that in MotoGP if you don’t do well you are sold”, lamented Aleix Espargaró.
“We have some fresh machines left and there are races outside of Europe where this year we have probably been more competitive than Yamaha and Ducati, so I am very positive, I have saved all these races, although of course I will. I want to recover points, but we went through complicated circuits and I’m still at 33 points, which is not much, so we will be confident”, insisted Espargaró
