Aleix Espargarò Statements British GP Race Silverstone MotoGP 2022

“In the race I felt pretty good and didn't feel too much pain, but it's also true that I wasn't able to move as well as I could on the bike and be aggressive. As a result, I couldn't overtake: I didn't make a single overtake during the race and that was decisive for the result. In any case, I don't want to make excuses: the crash obviously didn't help in terms of confidence, but today we weren't able to be as fast as we would have liked. I had little traction, especially in the right-hand corners, and I wasn't able to keep up with the leaders. It's a shame, because during the tests we showed excellent potential. Having said that, we have lost almost nothing in the standings, the championship is still open and the last part of the season will certainly be interesting!”
