Aleix Espargarò Statements Jerez MotoGP Qualifying 2022

“It wasn't an easy qualifying: in reality I wasn't very confident, from the first session I felt comfortable with the race tyre, but some problems always emerged with chattering every time we tried the time attack with the softer one . But today I really gave 110%, usually it's not a good idea to take so many risks, but today this strategy paid off. It was very important to be able to start from the front row, because here in Jerez it is not easy to overtake, especially when the track becomes slippery in the heat. We can count on a good pace with the medium tyre, the bike rides well and behaves fluidly, so we are confident and I can't wait for the race to start!”.
