The Spanish Aleix Espargaró (Aprilia RS-GP), who could not finish the Styrian Grand Prix due to a mechanical problem and had several incidents with the also Spanish Marc Márquez in the race, he recognized that “Marc it is Marc, in every race he has overtaken like this in the last ten years. “
Espargaro He said he was “more angry with our mistake, because I could not finish the race due to a technical problem and that makes me more angry.”
“About Marquez, I don’t blame him. Marc it is Marc, in each race he has overtaken like this in the last ten years and for me the fault lies with the Panel of Commissars, I don’t know where they were … maybe they were watching the last day of the Olympic Games, “he commented, ironic.
“I don’t know, it’s difficult to understand. Everyone is free to do whatever they want and the Panel of Stewards is the one who has to penalize but the first time they hit me very hard on the arm and took me off the track and into the second race the same … We will see if Race Direction does something, “he commented on the incident.
“But what annoys me the most is that it is penalized if one pilot causes another to fall, but what must be penalized is the action, the result does not matter, although as no one has fallen, there is no penalty,” he lamented Aleix Espargaró.
Critical as always, about the incident between his partner Lorenzo Savadori Y Dani Pedrosa He said: “I am very upset with the situation in this circuit, I have said it many times. What if Lawrence instead of crashing into the motorcycle of Pedrosa collides with Pedrosa? Now the whole world would be crying. It’s always the same on this circuit. “
“The first thing is that the walls are very close and that is very dangerous since this track is not designed for motorcycle racing, it is like that and we can also race in the city, why not? I can take my motorcycle and race in the streets of Spielberg, but it is not safe and this track is not safe, in three races, three red flags and we have been very lucky all three times. What will happen in the fourth? The drivers cannot do anything or modify anything “, the Aprilia rider continued to complain.
Espargaro He was also critical of the engine breakdown of his motorcycle, since “that cannot happen, a factory cannot have technical problems in a race. It has not happened for a long time and it cannot happen, but it is not the first time and it has been a serious problem. “
And, when referring to the victory of Jorge Martin he said rejoice a lot “maybe because he wears it Albert Valera -the same manager-, we live in Andorra and spend a lot of time together, but I followed him in Mahindra, before he won in Moto3 and I know of his talent. “
“He has done the race he had to do, he is a talented rider, in Austria and with the Ducati, he has done what he had to do and when he understands how to manage this bike on other circuits he will be a star, without a doubt” added Aleix Espargaró.
