The third step on the podium Aleix Espargaro at Le Mans leaving the rider from the Granollers ready to return to the top of the MotoGP table after the next appointment at Mugello, the home GP for Aprilia, as he approaches within four points ahead of leader Fabio Quartararo who, gave a tip on his speed problems. , in Mugello he was a candidate to suffer and lose leadership. For Aleix, this is his third consecutive podium and fourth in the last five Grand Prix, also hoping for that spectacular victory at Termas de Río Hondo. And for those who keep scratching the renewal for Aprilia, a new warning: “If Aprilia let go of a guy who is doing the same thing as me, it would be the biggest shit in the history of the world championship.”
“I still haven’t talked to Massimo (Rivola, the CEO of Aprilia Racing), we just exchanged hugs. At that moment, we just had to celebrate it with the team. I don’t know what to say about the contract. It seems very normal to me what I’m asking, honestly, it’s not normal at all.Under the market, I know where I am and how old I am, but I think the right word is respect.I don’t know , let’s see. I’m sure kahit hindi magandang sabihin, If Aprilia let go of a guy who is doing the same thing as me, it would be the biggest shit in the history of the world championship. “
He has that level of self -confidence, and that he shows in his performances on the track what, let’s not forget, the ashen bike in the championship and no victories before Aleix got to Argentina in April, which it is not excluded for the title. “I think I can win this world championship, I will believe it until the end. Aprilia is working well, on Saturday the second bike was as prepared and competitive as the first after my crash. We have improved the start, in Mugello there will be be other news, some interesting. Perhaps I also have too much confidence “, he tried to justify himself in the official press conference.
“The race was very hard, I was fast but not fast enough to overtake Mir or Miller. I knew it would be a survival race now, the track was very slippery. Now it’s harder to follow someone than to be fast on the track. Whenever I approach Jack, the bike is moving.The front tire is so hot, I can see the warning on the dashboard.So I decided to give him a second to cool the tire.Then In the final part of the race, I saw Fabio on the screen, who was very close to me , he’s better in the middle of the corner, so I know that if I go away in a corner even two meters he’ll pass me. It’s hard not to go wrong in the last laps, but the approach paid off, “Aleix said.
“I knew that when I got close to Jack he had a problem, so I knew Fabio had a problem with me too. It’s just that even though he’s a little stronger now in the middle of the corners, he’s not on the brakes. All I have to do is don’t make mistakes and brake hard at every stop to get on the podium, “he continued.
On whether he feels pressure to be very close to the championship leader at this point of the season he said “I’m not worried that I’m up front. I have no explanations, honestly I don’t understand. This year I have the bike I dreamed of, I asked the engineers to make this bike my they dreamed and achieved it by doing an incredible job in the tests. We are four points behind Fabio in the standings, we are ahead in the team standings. It is incredible “, he explained, because of this GP Aprilia Racing released Suzuki Ecstar to the leader of the team standings, another historic milestone for Noale.
