Aleix Espargaro reveals Marco Bezzecchi confrontation: “It’s something that makes me angry”
Aprilia rider Espargaro left the Portuguese MotoGP concerned over the quantity of injuries - three riders are unavailable for this weekend’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Argentina MotoGP plus two more are n𓆏ursing heav🌠y knocks - and he insisted “this is not war”.
Previously, Bezzecchi chose not to name names but said: “There are some riders that cry in the Safety Commission for so many overtakes. They cry like a baby and then, in the first occasion, they 🙈make something that is completely stupid and destroy your raꦬce.”
Espargaro and Bezzecchi had co💃me together during the sprint rac💫e and the VR46 rider's race ended prematurely, soon afterwards.
Espargaro, already furious with the aggression shown across the weekend, explained what happened when he spoke ꦆto Bezzecchi to thrash out their problems.
“Marco yesterday said that I almost hit everybody in corner 3,” he fumed. “It’s something that makes me angry be🌠cause I believe that I’m a clean rider.
“I want to keep b🐎eing the 🔴cleanest rider on the grid.
“[Sunday] I didn’t want to overtake - I was one second faster than the rider in front, butꦛ I finis👍hed behind, because I didn’t see the spot. So I didn’t force it to cause a crash.
“I want to be a clean rider 💟- If I can pass then I will pass, if I can’t then I can’t.
“I said to Marco: “I didn’t see you. Did I touch you?💦’
“He said: ‘No, but you changed the line’.
“I said: ‘Because there is no space in corner 1’.
“You have to talk to people, it’s the b꧂est thing to do.”
An irritated ♋Es🐭pargaro also reacted with frustration when a camera crew tried to record conversations he was having inside the Aprilia box.
“There are always cameras! There are times when you want to talk to the team and they sౠhouldn’💃t listen,” he said.
“It’s like Big Brother, somet꧟imes! At least some moments,ꦇ it’s better to keep them private.”
Espargaro’s brother, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pol Espargaro, was the first of multiple riders ༺to be hurt in Portimao.
He crashedꦍ last Friday, causing jaw and lung issues.
