Aleix Espargaró had a bit of a troublesome race yesterday in which he got hit two times, he said, and in both times who hit him didn’t get any sanctioned for doing so, which in a way amazed the rider, as he «asked» for the action itself to be penalised, but at the same time he made sure of saying that there is no point in exposing his point of view as they won’t do anything.
Yesterday after the race the spaniard told, remember: ‘The feeling is that they award a penalty if you crash but you have to judge and penalise the action, not the outcome, the result’.
Asked if he will talk to the Race Direction, Aleix Espargaró was clear: ‘No no, I mean, nothing will change, so no. I’m relaxed, I don’t care. What is amazing is that they didn’t act. They say: «Yeah, we like that you come and explain..». We try but nothing changes, so… they do their job, I do mine and we keep going’.
This isn’t the first time Aleix Espargaró express such feelings towards the Race Direction for the way they decide (or not) to apply sanctions on the riders.
