Look Aleix Espargaro on the podium of a MotoGP Grand Prix is no longer new and this 2022 lot has had more prodium in six Grand Prix than he has achieved in his previous twelve MotoGP campaigns. This is the compensation for exclusive dedication, perseverance and determination and even MotoGP World Championship leader Fabio Quartararo at the press conference appointed him as one of the candidates for the title on the day his good work in the last two campaigns included Aprilia has left the Noale brand without concessions, without unlimited trials from now on and less than two open machines and twice as many wild cards than their factory rivals.
“I had so much fun and we got this hard, it was brutal, this podium moved me more than success in Argentina, I remember I went to Jerez a thousand years since I was a kid and now in age 32 i am fighting for the world championship, it is that It doesn’t make sense, it’s incredible, being 7 points behind Fabio, a podium against Jack and Marc, we give normality to this and it’s crazy “, Aleix expressed.
This is how he recounted the career: “It was very frustrating, because I knew what we needed to improve on was the grip. I had some disastrous starts during these seasons. I was able to get past Nakagami, but not I could catch Marc or Jack, and it was very frustrating because I had better pace. They braked too hard and stopped in the middle of the corner and I couldn’t get through the corner. I saw Pecco and Fabio running, but it was impossible to follow them “.
“I knew that if I tried I would hit Marc and I would fall, because he braked late. There I told myself I couldn’t fight for the win, but I knew after 40 minutes they would make a mistake. When I reached Jack at the last corner, I saw “Marc widened and I passed two five laps from the end. I increased my walk by half a second. I couldn’t get to Pecco and Fabio, because they were a lot. Of speed, but I’m happy with the last third “, Aleix Espargaró said.
2022 brings the success of Termas de Río Hondo, where he emerged as leader, and two third straight sets at Portimao and Jerez leaving him second in the overall standings, seven points behind Quartararo. And Aleix who has a standard self -confidence that is even higher in the cloud now that he is regularly on the podium he has no limits to his aspirations. “I think we have options. Fabio was champion last year and the third part of the championship passed and we were only seven points behind the leader. This train only happens once in a lifetime, especially in my case, and I’m going. I’m going to try to get on this train. I know that especially with Fabio and with Pecco, when they are in their sweet moment, something is still missing. We have to improve the bike and myself a bit, but perseverance and regularity will be key. I’m very kind and very happy, so I’ll try to torture Fabio until the end “.
About Aprilia’s loss of concessions, he was clear: “If we’re in the sixth race and we’re seven points in the lead, it’s because the bike is working properly, so the normal thing is to lose the concessions and have the same weapons as the other factory.I believe in Noale’s Engineers.I know they stress more, but I’m not stressed.The hardest thing is to get to this level we’ve reached.Now the machines have to take a little longer , but I think they can. “
The overtake for the podium came as a result of a save that Marc Márquez had to make on turn 13 Not confident to throw the bike, he continued to lengthen and when it slowed down he leaned on the dirty side and lost both wheels.
“Such are the races. I run faster than Jack and Marc, but I can’t catch up with them. I know I have to be close, show them the bike. Every time they open the door I show them the wheel. To apply pressure I know that in 40 minutes and at least one to two mistakes, I’m satisfied with fifth place, because it’s good for the championship, but I know the opportunity will come to me., and that I would have to take it. same corner where Marc made a mistake I caught up with Jack.I was a little better than them going to the corner, but Marc braked hard.I finally did I caught up with them and once I did, I was able to open the two seconds in four laps. We had to improve the clutch because it was a catastrophic start. Fortunately, we started in the front row now and thus limited the damage. “
