Malaysian MotoGP: Aleix Espargaro: ‘When I have to be critical I am, we lost a lot of points’
Whether it was traction control cutting engine power at Phillip Island or an alarm error on his dash during the formation lap in Motegi, Espargaro has seen his MotoGP title hopes drastically ch🦋ange since the flyaway races began.
Espargaro is now 27 points down on 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:MotoGP standings, while pressure from behind in the form of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Enea Bastianini and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jack Miller is being applied for third.
Still🌳, Espargaro’s target remains to finish ahe🅺ad of Bagnaia and bring himself back into serious contention at Valencia.
"This is the target,"🐼 said the Aprilia rider. "The goal is to try and stop Pecco which is goiꦕng to be difficult because the form he has shown in the last few races, in fact, the second part of the championship has been amazing.
"I will try my be🦋st. I have a feeling that it’s more lost than won this title.
"I can risk a little b𝄹it more and be more aggressive on race day to hopefully bring me to Valencia [in co🐟ntention]."
Leading Espargaro to say statements such as the title is more ‘lost t🎉han won’ comes down to basic mistakes at a time where points were there to be had.
Like Bagnaia and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo, Espargaro has failed to score in at least one of the last four races [Motegi], however, when he has scored point𒁃s he’s been nowhere near the Ducati rider, hence the gap at the top of the series.
While the last few rounds will undoutebdly be seen as a chance t🅺o learn and put any mistakes right in 2023, Espargaro can’t help but feel like a golden opportunity is passing by, which is why the Spaniard has been more critical of the team in recent races.
Espargaro added: "We saw that 𒁃in the race where we didn’t have data that we struggled a lot. We spent a lot of time doing basic things like t⛄he gearbox and the data we have from 2019 is completely useless to us.
"We changed [the bike] completely. It’s a good [learning c꧃urve] for us but we l🦹ost a lot of points in the last few races.
"I always say what I feel sꦜo when I see we did a good job or we improve it’s because I feel this. But when I have to be critical with the team then I am.
"I have a feeling that the last races we ꦇwere not on a high level and we ♒lost a lot of points.
"It’s very frustrating when you have the speed and in Australia I did the second fastest lap but then we f🥀aced some problemsဣ that we didn’t have to have happen. I feel it was quite basic problems."
