“Aleix’s condition will be checked in the next hours because if the pain increases, his participation in tomorrow’s race (for now) could be in doubt,” read the Aprilia Racing statement sent to the media after 7:00 pm yesterday . He made the mistake of re-entering the track three quarters of an hour after hitting a good stick in FP4 and there was an official report of a “high energy crash. Neurological and thoracic-abdominal examination with normal results. normal constants. Bilateral contusion of both ankles, with greater involvement in the right ankle. Calcaneal contusion. negative radiology. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic treatment”, and got the medical OK. Few doubts that he will line up for this Sunday’s race despite the fact that it depends on how he does in the warmup. But this is not the Silverstone that dreamed of by the oldest of Espargaró, a pleasant one with a good ending, it will be necessary to suffer and bring out that agonistic character that characterizes him because 20 laps can last forever.
At the end of Q2, Aprilia kept Aleix’s agenda for Saturday and by the time he was scheduled to arrive at the Media Center to talk to the media, they reported that they were canceling all their activities. After undergoing a cryotherapy session at the Mobile Clinic, it was decided that it would be best to rest until Sunday.
“A crash was the last thing we needed. I felt good on the bike, pushing hard, and the rush was quite violent. I was hurting and getting worse, so together with the team and the doctors, we decided it was best to he’ll rest until tomorrow (today) and then assess the situation after the warmup. Obviously, I’ll do everything possible to get on the track, but since we’re talking about a body part that’s been over- stress during the pilot, we have to see if it is possible”, warned the oldest of Espargaró. , Noale’s ‘Il Capitano’.
But his rivals interpreted it as a clear case of psychological warfare on Aprilia’s part. Fabio Quartararo, who leads the stakes this Sunday – 21 points separate them – and has a pending penalty for his aggressive maneuver on Aleix on the fifth lap of the Assen race, couldn’t even believe it: “ha, ha, ha . If he doubts the race, I don’t believe either”, he said in the paddock.
