MotoGp, Aleix Espargaró is lapidary about Aprilia

Aleix Espargaró disappointed with Phillip Island race

The eighth place finish in the Phillip Island race does not at all satisfy an Aleix Espargaró who, after the dominant weekend at home in Montmeló, no longer è managed to even come close to the podium. On the sidelines of the Australian GP, the Catalan did not hide his disappointment.

"At’the beginning I tried to manage the tires, but in the last two laps they were destroyed – said Espargaró -. Today it was difficult to go moreù strong with the Aprilia, we arrived at 9 seconds from the first and I did not expect it. We hope in the dry tomorrow, in that case mounting the soft compound could be useful".

"In that case we would play it, although first of all we have to understand why, especially on the left, we register a lack of grip – Aleix added -. It is something that made us difficult today, it made the race hard".

" I expected to fight for the podium, instead è it went like this – he said in conclusion -. Everyone thinks our bike is not bad but the ranking speaks clearly: we have to improve. There are four Aprilias on the track, we all have to do more".
