Aleix Espargaro He is the older brother of Pol and Mariona, but he is also the great ‘capo’ and ‘older brother’ of all the pilots who, like him, live in Andorra. And since that was almost half the grid, the joy was overwhelming in the paddock as Aleix finally had to stop defending himself against haters because he was the only one without a win on the entire MotoGP grid. He is only now the first in Espargaró to win the star category. And let’s not say everyone’s joy at MotoGP because Noale’s hard work over the past two years has allowed them to drop anchor on their rivals and now the six manufacturers on the grid are winning machines. the Argentine GP. This was not because of fatigue caused by physical exertion but because of the emotions that drove her and Aprilia’s first win in MotoGP.
“The truth is after so much work, success has finally come at the end of my athletic career. Obviously, I know I have years of athletic career left but not much since I was 32 years old and in the last summary is that, if you work well, results will come. That phrase is not said in vain and I sincerely and humbly believe I deserve it. “
He admitted that the race was not as easy as everyone had predicted, that it would be a successful ride for the speed he had in his pocket: “It’s not easy. It’s never been easy to win MotoGP, but I thought it would be easier it’s because it’s a bit more competitive but, after Moto2 and the heat now in Termas, the track slipped hard and I had to change the electronics of the racing bike and fully understand the traction.The first podium was hard and the first victory was hard, but I’m happy. “
“I kind of analyzed Jorge and I knew that in the last six, seven, eight laps I was faster than him and a little bit wheeled, so I didn’t want to rush because I knew that when I failed at first. Overtaking it was Good. I also want to pass Jorge without moving him since we have a very good friendship and don’t have to be aggressive on the track, so I tried to pass him cleanly even if it was worth me “
Give Aprilia the first victory “I’m very happy, very happy. Winning is always winning, leading the championship is good on whatever bike it is, but if you can do it with a new brand like Aprilia and lead the project for many years, I think it doubles my pride, which is why I’m so happy. “
When the story ended with Suzuki (in 2016), because I wasn’t competitive enough, and Aprilia called me, I was obviously not on the top riders list. No one wants to go, no one believes in this project, so from day one I said to myself ‘I’m going to try to make this bike fast, to put it on top’. I didn’t think I would last like this, but we eventually made it. I tried several times to bring in young drivers, but they preferred to wait another opportunity. And that gives me extra motivation, it makes me even more, to tell them ‘You will remember that it was a mistake to have said no to Aprilia,’ “he said.
“We still have a lot of work to do, but I think now young Moto2 or Moto3 riders are starting to look more seriously at the Aprilia project, as an option for the future. And I think it’s also very good for the championship. , to see that there are many powerful manufacturers, whose riders can win all the bikes, ”he claims.
And in addition to dedicating the success to his parents, Genís and Anna, he didn’t forget to call Andorra, where he spoke to his wife Laura, because the twins Max and Mía were already inside. bed to go to school early tomorrow: “My wife and My children are my pillar and I think that for every father, no doubt, they are, but I think, in my case, it is more because I am a passionate. person. I am very close to my family and they are my strength and motivation., if the twins had not been born, and no doubt that would have been difficult for my son, because he might not be here. that I would have continued running because I don’t have the positive energy they send me, especially in the first and second years since they were born, which has been very difficult for me in Aprilia, so certainly too much for Laura and them. “
