Raul Fernandez and Aleix Espargaro fear downforce and dirty air prevents overtaking in MotoGP, leading to ‘boring’ races. Statistics show only one race win by a rider outside the top three after the opening lap.
Aleix Espargaro doesn’t want Aprilia to be sucked back into MotoGP technical Concessions but is also ‘not against’ the rumoured changes to help struggling manufacturers Honda and Yamaha.
Aleix Espargaro says he can’t understand why Ducati appears to have vetoed the prompt introduction of a rider-backed 'safety' change to Friday’s MotoGP practice sessions.
Johann Zarco claimed top spot after a chaotic final few minutes saw Fabio Quartararo and Franco Morbidelli both crash their factory Yamahas in Practice 1 for the German MotoGP.
Visibly distraught and barely able to walk in the morning session, Aleix Espargaro overcame the agony from a ‘stupid’ cycling accident to be the top Aprilia rider on day one of the Italian MotoGP.
