Espargaro had been left fuming after seeing Di Giannantonio ruled out of the final day of preseason due to concussion caused by the gravel: "I don't want to talk about it anymore, we've been 🧜talking about it for fಞour years and nobody listens to us. We have said it many times. 

"What do the Mot꧅oGP riders do when they are not listened to by those responsible? What am I supposed to do? I can't do anything. 

"We can express our feelings, nothing more.”
