Valencia MotoGP: Aleix Espargaro criticises Fabio Quartararo’s no-show of safety meeting - “you cannot complain later”
Tꦯhe reigning world champion Quartararo explained that he doesn’t value attendance because he feels that riders are not listened to.
But Espargaro reacted at the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valencia MotoGP: “I don’t like it. I have said this to him.
“He is the 💎world champion. You cannot complain later.”
“I half agree with him [th♍at riders are not always♐ listened to].
“It’s true thatꦚ sometimes we’re asking for many things. For example, we’ve just been talking about Phillip Island - to add some asphalt in some places for three years and nothing has happened yet.
“But in other places, yes, in other things where we tal🅠k they’ve l🐲istened and tried to learn.
“Sometimes not even all the riders in the safety commissioꦿn have the same opinion, so how can they follow one opinion? But they do their best.
“I was very disappointed when I saw the safety commission of Malaysia. Everyone is free to go. I think it is a mistake to make it mandatory because everyone sh🌊ould want to go, to feel comfortable to bring their opinion to this s♕ituation.
“And if you🐬 don’t, it’s better not to come. But you miss something.”
Safety has become a major issue since Jorge 𓆉Navarro, the Moto2 rider, lay with a broken leg after crashing in Australia and the race was no൲t red flagged.
Quartararo explained his stance:💜 “I’ve been one time [in 2022] and I decided not to go an🐭ymore.”
Asked if he felt riders are listened to, he said: “We are not. A few times like the red flag iܫncident in Australia – many๊ times.
“I have nothi🎃ng against it, I’🌳m just not really going.”
Quartararo must win the Valencia MotoGP and hope 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia finishes in P15✃ or lower to retain his championship.
