Espargaro suffered his fourth DNF of the 2022 MotoGP💜 season after being collected in a turn one pile-up in Misano. 

The Repsol Honda rider, who started down in 19th on the grid, positioned himself on the outside of Michele Pirro before168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Johann Zarco wiped the pair out. 

However, Zarco was forced into his crash after being hit by Brad Binder on the inside - a four-ride🍒r clash that resulted in the KTM rider bein🥂g the only one to remain aboard his machine.

And while Espargaro placed some of the blame on Binder for bei🅺ng very ‘aggressive’, the Spaniard said the turn one incident is more of a reflection about Honda’s current level.

Speaking to MotoGP.com, Espargaro added: "For sure, it’s everything in ouဣr hands. Starting in the back you have more trouble. It was not our fault.&n♑bsp;

"W🐠e have first been taken out by Brad [Binder] - he entered a little bit too fast into the first corner but there’s nothing wrong with it. It was just aggressive and then he pushed out Johann [Zarco] who then pushed out Pirro and th🌊en he pushed me out. 

• Dovizioso: Decision to stop here was right, support was crazy, e𝄹🐈motional 
• Vinales ready to ‘take the next step’, clear of previ🐼ous ‘up and down’ issues?

"I mean we can complain about everything but at the end of the day we were starting almost las🌠t from the qualifying and we are not fast𝔉 enough. This is the main thing."

Espargaro ‘in the best moment of his career’

While it may not look like it based on his result🎉s in 2022, Espargaro feels as though he’s in the best moment ☂of his career from a physical and psychological point of view.

As is also the case for fellow Honda riders 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Takaaki Nakagami and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez, results in 2022 have been dreadful by Honda’s standards. Howe✤ver, the biggest reason for this is Honda’s lack of performance which has bee𝓡n far from what they or the riders expected.

Outside of the season-opening podium by Espargaro in Qatar and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez managing to squ🐲eeze out two top tens from the six races he competed in before shoulder surgery, Honda have largely been nowhere, with their performance gradually getting worse as the year🌱 has gone on. 

An angry Espargaro added: "I can push what𒀰ever I want but I’m slow, we are slow and the bike is not working so what can I do? 

"I want to be the fastest guy on the grid. I’m in the best𒆙 moment of my career psychologically and physically but it’s super frustrating because I cannot take proꦕfit of this. 

"Today’s rꦑesult is because we are not in the position we should be. We can complain about the others but we need to focus on ourselves and try to do better on Saturdays. 

"We need to be faster in qualifying and then the races are going to be much e𝐆asier. If we start in the front nobody is going to touch you and we should be in that position."
