“My pace is not a disaster,” he said after qualifying. “It’s not as fast as the best but I’m not super far 🐲[away].

“Starting 13th will be difficult. It c✨an rain - I am positive﷽. There are many Ducatis with young riders in front.

“It will not be easy for Fab༺io to fight with the Ducat🌞is so it’s still open.

“If it rains, I will risk more th🦄an ever. All or nothing. I have to!

“If it’s dry? It’s difficult to make miracles.

“I w🀅ill ride with different tyres to all the Yamahas, Ducatis and KTMs.”

Espargaro: "It is the same for the other riders..."

Espa💞rgaro revealed a conversation with his team: “Yesterday in the technical me🅘eting my guys said ‘the carcass of the tyre is different’ but I said ‘it is the same for the other riders so don’t say this to me, please’.

“The others are fast so why [aren’t we?]

“Next year we go ♊to Indi꧃a so we have to adapt with whatever Michelin brings.”

He analysed a dis𝓰appointing Saturday at Buriram: “When I arrived in the garage I was very angry. I have to stay positive. 

“But it is clear. It is ꧑the second time, after America, thatౠ I don’t have the pace of the best riders. You have to accept it.

“I am trying really hard but I can’t find a wayꦑ to go faster. I did everything I could.

“FP4 I tried to be competitive with a u𓆉sed tyre. It was not enough.

“In qualifying I braked super-late and super-s🧸mooth but the bike doesn’t go forward.

“It i♚s frust💧rating. 30.2s - I was satisfied with my lap but it’s not enough.

“It is diffic🦋ult to ride faster than what I am doing.”
