Aleix Espargaro: “If you complain, you’re a whiner - it’s good to say what you think”

Marc Marquez and, now, Alex Marquez have both come under criticism from Espargaro, along with Rac👍e Direction and the MotoGP Stewards.
The Aprilia rider’s latest annoyance came when he was ൩touched by Alex Marquez in the sprint race at t𝔉he French MotoGP but no sanctions were applied.
He was asked about 🥂the incident by and replied: “Alex Marquez? It doesn't matter, you've seen the race.
“If you say that nam🥀e, it's because you've seen a replay of what happened.
“I already said that I would not talk about incidents🎃 anymore.”
Espargaro is regularly one of the more vocal MotoGP riders and the subject of 💦the Stewards, and how they sanction ride🐽rs, has wrangled him.
But he has insisted that he won’t stop🅷 speaking his miไnd.
"I think🎀 it's good to say what you think,” he said.&n🌸bsp;
“If𝓡 not,🤪 we all come here to say: 'Nah, it went well, tomorrow more, the rubber...'
“You are going to get bored.

“Here if you complain, you're a whiner all day, and if you criticise, 💝you're criticising every day. Everything seems bad.
"When you give your opinion and you are sincere, which🐓 I think is what you have to be, if you cry, you are a ꦅcrybaby, and all day in the comments 'crying'.
“There comes a time when yo✤u don't know what to do.”
MotoGP riders and Stewards held a meeting in Le Mans about recent sanctions that several riders had been unh🎃appy about.
But the meeting did not immedi🅠ately alleviate those concerns and it remains a source of frustration for many, including Espargaro, who claims he will refuse to speak about the subject because it won’t solve anything.
