Fourth row start for Aleix Espargaro in Le Mans despite crash

 In MotoGP, News

Going straight through to Q2, earned thanks to the eighth best time in FP3, was foreshadowing of a qualifying session on the attack for Aleix Espargaró in Le Mans.

Unfortunately, the Spanish rider fell victim to a crash in the early stages of the decisive session, without physical consequences, but enough to prevent him from improving. In any case, Aleix will start from the fourth row and he’ll be able to count on his and the Aprilia RS-GP’s good potential, as well as a good race pace.

ALEIX ESPARGARO
“I made a mistake at the beginning of qualifying. I was losing a bit of ground in acceleration, so I tried to make up for it, going into turn 1 too fast. I took a high speed slide, but fortunately without any consequences. I got back on the track with the second bike, which already had not given me a good feeling in FP4 in terms of traction control settings and I was unable to do any more.”
