Great recovery for Aleix Espargaro after crashing at Termas de Rio Hondo

It was a very difficult race for the NGM Forward Racing Team at Termas de Rio Hondo in the northern region of Argentina.

Aleix Espargaró couldn’t take advantage of starting from the second row on the grid. The Spaniard was 10th when he crashed out at Turn 2 in the second lap.

Fortunately Aleix was able to pick up his bike and rejoin the race. From that moment on, made a very good race, making a comeback from the 21st to the 15th position.

Despite this result, Aleix remains first in the Open Rider standings ahead of Nicky Hayden and Hiroshi Aoyama.

Aleix Espargaro – 15th
“I’m very disappointed with today’s crash. I need to improve my feeling with the bike at the beginning of the race when the tank is full. I struggle a lot in the first laps, as the front tends to close. Today I crashed without realizing it. It’s a pity because we did a great job in the practices and I had the pace to fight for the first five positions. I look forward to Jerez, where I want to get a good result.”
