Despite the 2023 season falling short of initial expectations, Aleix Espargaró still managed to secure two victories last year – including a particularly special win at his home GP in Catalonia.
Acknowledging the dedication of the Spanish rider, the manager Carlo Pernat rates him a 7 on a scale of 10. However, he emphasized to GPOne.com that he didn’t like seeing Espargaró in the final phase of 2023:
– I give him approval because he puts his heart and soul into this. He made some mistakes, but he also won two races. I could give him more than a 7, but I didn’t like his nervousness at the end of the season.
