Aprilia’s Aleix Espargaro says he is “angry” that the riders’ wishes to have MotoGP’s Friday format tweaked for 2023 was stopped by Ducati following a meeting on Thursday. Full story ⬇️
As part of MotoGP’s format shake-up for 2023 to include sprint races, the combined order at the end of Friday’s two practice sessions decides which riders go straight to Q2 in qualifying and who has to go through Q1.in August, so that only the times at the end of FP2 counted towards qualifying.
Speaking after finishing practice seventh overall at the Dutch GP on Friday, Espargaro was unhappy with this decision, especially as Ducati’s riders apparently felt differently to the manufacturer. “But it looks like Ducati does not agree. They voted against this. We asked for this change not for a competitive thing, it was more for safety to avoid crashes in practice one, to be more relaxed and just stress everyone in the last 15 minutes of FP2.
