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5最新开奖结果:Argentina MotoGP plus two more are nurs🃏ing🌜 heavy 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, 𝕴they make something that is completely stupid and destroy your rac💛e.”
Espargaro and Bezzecchi had come together during the sprint race and the VR46 rider's 𝔉race ended prematurely, soon afterwards.
Espargaro, already furious with the aggression shown across the weekend, explained what happened wh෴en he spoke to 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 because I believ꧒e that I’m a clean rider.
“I want to keep being the cleanest rider on th𒆙e grid.
“[Sunday] I didn’t want to overtake - I was one second faster than the rider in front, but I finished behin🔯d, ဣbecause I didn’t see the spot. So I didn’t force it to cause a crash.
“I want to be a cᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚlean 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 peopl♑e, it’s the best th🎃ing to do.”
An irritated Espargaro also reacted with frustration when a camera crew tried to record conversations h🐼e was having inside the Aprilia box.
“There ♌are always cameras! There are times whe🅺n you want to talk to the team and they shouldn’t listen,” he said.
“It’s like Big Brother, sometimes! At least some moments, it’s bet💯ter to keep them private.”
