I started more or less in the middle of the grid, which isn’t the best place to be because if you’re on either side you have a few more opportunities to overtake on the first corners. “My start was good, but on the first couple of laps I couldn’t manage to do many overtakes. But third feels great and I’m excited to go to Austin with a clear mind and try to repeat my performance – it’s another track I like!” As was Rins Joan Mir – P4 In the end I was close to the top two riders, but it wasn’t quite possible. It wasn’t an easy race, because the level of all the riders is so high and you have to stay calm and make clean passes. This is a great result, but I need to qualify better to give myself more chances. “I’m so happy to get third and be back on the podium, especially here in Argentina. I love you.” Jorge Martin was happy for his friend Alex Rins – P3 Congrats to my friend, brother and inspiration Aleix Espargaro. “P2 babyyyy! We start building from here! Thanks Pramac Racing. Now we’re leading in the championship, but we’ll just try to take advantage of this positive moment, continuing to have fun and keeping our feet planted firmly on the ground.”Īn emtional victory for Aleix Espargaro and Aprilia Jorge Martin – P2 I would like to thank again all the team, who is working hard in Noale and the Piaggio Group for the support. I am extremely happy for Aprilia, for me, and for my family. It was truly exciting, especially the last lap. I had never been in the position to battle for a win in MotoGP.
I was faster than Martín by a few tenths, but it wasn’t at all easy to overtake him, partly because it was a new situation for me. I tried changing the electronic settings several times to overcome these problems and, in the end, I managed to improve. In practice I was extremely fast, as well as in the warm-up session, but in the race I struggled a bit with a lack of grip. We tackled a long path to get here, but we’ve finally done it! It was a fantastic weekend, but it wasn’t a simple race. “I’m very proud of this milestone we’ve reached.
