“They were in critical conditions, it wasn’t easy, I didn’t do good qualifications, I did not get what I was hoping for. Personally I gave 100%, but under these conditions, when you can’t make the most of the curbs, for us with Yamaha it becomes difficult. In particular, at turn 6 and turn 7, I could not run the bike either on the internal or external curbs. The problem is always the same, you have to find a lot of solutions: being in the midst of such identical motorbikes, which have the same speed, acceleration, the same way of tackling the curves, it becomes difficult to find a place to pass “.
“And there is also the Aprilia that is strong. It will be to make a good start and recover as much fundamental as possible in the first 3-4 corners. It is clear that the position affects the mood, the our potential is much higher, my pace is good. But for us the crucial moment is at the qualification “.
Aleix Espargaro: “Our potential is high”
“In FP4, Vinales and I did first and second, we were the only ones to use the hard tire and we kept a good pace. In short, we have the potentialyou have to try to immediately gains 3-4 positions. But you also have to use your head: the last race in Valencia seems close, but there are still many GPs in between, we must not exaggerate if things do not go as you expect ”.
