Theꦜ Aprilia rider ended Saturday at the Qatar MotoGP with a fractured fib🌟ula due to a collision with Miguel Oliveira, and €10,000 out of pocket for slapping Morbidelli on the helmet.

Morbidelli insisted that the FIM Stewards’ decision to fine Espargaro, and hit him with a six-place grid penalty for Sunday’s race (if he is pওassed fit to compete) is n🔴ot enough.

Espargaro disagreed.

He sꦗaid via social media, according to : “A bad day, here I am with my leg 𓂃up. 

“The truth is that it has been a day to forget.

“First with th🔥e incident with Morbidelli, in which I obvious♊ly had a very bad reaction. 

“He was walking around the track, I almost crashed twice for going in the middle of the trac𝓀k.&🍃nbsp;

“Then hꦿe wouldn't let me get back on the track and I lost my temper, 🃏obviously, with a totally excessive reaction. 

“And that's why I received a sanction. From my point of view it is too much, but I accept it because th🌠e image is not good.”

Morbidelli angrily accused Esp🐽argaro of “disrespect”.

Espargaro addressed the clash with Oliv♊eira in the sprint race which resulted in both riders eꦿmerging with injuries.

“In the race I had a very good pace,” he said.

“We had a good wꦿeekend, b🃏ut starting from behind there can always be trouble. 

“Oliveira hit me very, very hard in Turn 6 and🍸 I went flying. 

“I have had a♉ fissurꦉe in the head of my fibula that now hurts a lot. 

“These are things that can happen. 

“This year Miguel has been thrown quite a few times, but today he threw m🍌e. 

“He has apologised to me. He also has damage.

“Thꦿe situation in general makes m♏e feel bad and it's a shame. 

“I will try to sleep today and try tꦜomorrow, but it will be difficult because it hurts a lot, bu🍃t tomorrow we will see how I wake up.”
