Pol Espargaro From being third in the championship after a race in Qatar, to being sixth after Mandalika, but she barely gave up 10 points along with leader Enea Bastianini. The man from Granollers appreciates the absence of his teammate Marc Márquez on the Repsol Honda team and recalled that as “I have said it many times, but it is also true, whenever Marc is missing it is a problem for me as a rider, because he sets the limits, in Qatar I am faster. than him, but that became the exception because Marc always set the limits on all the circuits and he was the one looked after by all the riders in the factory ”.

“It gives very important information to the engineers so they can improve the bike and they also improve the bike and, obviously, for the fans who go to Termas to see Marc, which is a lot, they won’t see him., And That’s it a problem for the show and for MotoGP; we hope he recovers soon and is in Texas, because he probably won’t be treated there again like other years; hopefully he’ll be back soon, “he said. niya.

Referring to the Argentine circuit of Termas de Río Hondo, Pol Espargaró stressed that “this is a circuit that fits very well with all Hondas and where the official rider and Crutchlow – Cal Crutchlow is a Honda rider in Lucio’s team Cecchinello- has been able to win here, because Hondas work well in Termas, but we’ll have to wait to see how the track, temperature, dirt, and how well the tires fit on the bike this. “

“A priori everything is an enigma since we haven’t come here for two years and there are‘ rookie ’drivers who never raced here, so doing everything concentrated on a Saturday for them is going to be more complicated than for a rider who pretty much may experience on the circuit with big bikes, but anything can happen. It’s amazing because we haven’t been here for more than two years and also because we’re going to do everything on a Saturday “, stressed. Pol Espargaró.
