MotoGP championship contender Aleix Espargaro says he “can’t go faster” than he is on the Aprilia at the ThailandGP having struggled to 13th in qualifying. Here's what he said ⬇️
“We tried a completely different bike this morning, super different, and it didn’t work.“But it’s not enough. And then on the qualifying I braked super late every corner, accelerated super smooth to avoid the spin.
“But the bike doesn’t go forward, so it’s frustrating. I tried my best, I was satisfied with my lap but it wasn’t enough just for one tenth.Aleix Espargaro, Aprilia Racing TeamWhile the rear tyre issue is a long-standing problem for Aprilia, Espargaro refuses to count this as an excuse as “it’s the same for the other riders”.
“Yesterday in the technical meeting, my guys said to me it’s because the carcass of the tyre is different,” Espargaro said when asked if his lack of pace in qualifying was all a result of the stiffer tyre carcass.
