Aleix Espargaro It became the headliner of the Gran Premi de Catalunya and welcomed that role. It comes to him in full maturity at 32 years old, but he continues to pinch himself: “Like everyone this year, it’s hard to understand, hard to understand and even I myself have to give an explanation, because I’m the protagonist. You have to try to enjoy it, it’s a great Very special prize. The star of the historic Grand Prix of Catalonia, Marc, is not there, so this year that I am fighting for the title, it is a huge responsibility and pride “.
It came in its fullness
“Last year we were competitive and this year the bike works better. Regarding Fabio, where I have the most losers in the chicanes, he is better able to change direction. Here nothing, like in Mugello, so I think the bike is will run smoothly.
This was his most important achievement
“There is no doubt that this is more important than victory in Argentina, this is my home Grand Prix, I grew up three kilometers from here, it will be brutal. I will not lie to you: my goal is to win on Sunday, but it’s going to be very difficult. You also need to understand where to draw the fine line between consistency and taking risks to win the Grand Prix. We’ll understand that during training. “
what I will give to win
“I don’t know, even a bike, which is what I want most, from my collection. It would be brutal. It’s the Grand Prix I’ve dreamed of all my life and I’ve been racing all my life. To the Jerez podium, maybe I will give more value than the first podium or the victory of Argentina.When I was seen at the top in Jerez, I was on the podium and thought: ‘Here you dive for 10 years, you haven’t have made a podium, you have reached a million times and you are now in the premier class on the podium ‘. Think of it in Barcelona, which is more home than Jerez though “.
12 points away from matching your best score
“I can’t explain. The bike grew, I grew, the consistency of so many years in Aprilia, there were a thousand and one reasons. It’s so historical what’s going on, it’s weird that I don’t ‘I don’t have an exact explanation.”
feeding each other
“The victory in Argentina gave me wings, it made me really believe it. If I already thought I could do well, then I said to myself: ‘You can win, you can be in front’. Then, every weekend, doing podiums, fighting for the best, I keep giving it feedback, adding fuel to the fire and that’s what you have to try to maintain ”.
is the most regular
“The persistence is very important, but you have to be fast. I am aware that I lack a point compared to the three, speed and I have to find it if I want to fight with them. When Enea is well, it is. almost impossible to beat. It’s easier for them to find consistency than for me to find speed. “
“Yes, regularity has won titles, but in the very long World Cup, it ultimately allows you to make some zeros. They removed Finland and I think it helps us a little bit, but I think I have to win a little bit. With Fabio I am even, but the two Ducati, when they are strong, for Fabio and for me they are hard to beat “.
Message to fans
“There’s going to be a brutal show, we have spectacular weather. I know Marc isn’t here and I can’t tell you that I’m going to try to replace him, because it’s impossible, but I’m going to try. To put on a good show, do it well. What we’re achieving, in the end, people get bored with Marc’s win, he wins every year (laughs), so if another Catalan rider manages to win, with Aprilia, in a very historic year, it will be a good ‘boom’ too. I hope they come to support us “.
Special helmet dedicated to Cor All Family
“Four years ago my twin was born. Mia was born with severe heart disease and our time was very bad. Cor All Family, the doctors who operated on her, helped us a lot. I think that elite athletes are a very big speaker in society, we have a lot of impact, which I don’t like very much and I don’t share, because all I do is give fuel to the motorcycle, but that’s it. It’s a tribute to my daughter, who is all my strength, but, most of all, to Cor All Family because there are many children in the world who are incompetent, who died five years ago.The statistics of heart problems are putting you down, so this is a tribute “.
