Valencia MotoGP: Aleix Espargaro criticises Fabio Quartararo’s no-show of safety meeting - “you cannot complain later”
The reigning worlꦕd champion Quartararo explained that he doesn’t value attendance because he feels that riders are not listened to.
But Espargaro reacted at the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valencia MotoGP: “I don’t like it. I have said this to him.
“He is the world champion.💦 You cannot complain ⛎later.”
“I half ag൲ree with him [that riders are not always listened to].
“It’s true that sometimes we’re asking for many things. For example, we’ve just been talking about Phill💫ip Island - to add some asphalt in some places for three years and nothing has happened yet.
“But in other places, yes, in other things wher🗹e we talk they’ve listened and tried to learn.
“Sometimes not even all the riders in the safety commission hav♓e the same opinion, so how can they follow one opinion? But they do their bꦗest.
“I was very disappointed when I saw the safety commission of Malaysia. Everyone is free to go. I think it is a mistake to make it mandatory because everyone should want to go, to feel comfortable ๊to bring their opinion to this situation.
“And if you don’t, it’s better not 🌊to come. But you miss something.”
Safety has become a major issue since Jorge Navarro, the Moto2 rider, lay🦂 with a broken leg after crashing in Australia and the race was not red flagged.
Quartararo explained his stance: “I’ve been one time [in 2022] and I decided not to goও anymore.”
Asked i𓃲f he🌠 felt riders are listened to, he said: “We are not. A few times like the red flag incident in Australia – many times.
“I have nothing against i🗹t, I’m just not really going.”
Quartararo must win the Valencia MotoGP and hope 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia finishes in P15 or lower to retain his chওampionship.
