Guintoli said on BT Sport: “What an 🎉absolute hero!

“The violence of the crash, the way he was flip🃏ped off the bike, it wa⛦s massive.

“He could hardly get on his bike. That’s what adre꧅naline can do.

“These guys, these riders, thes🧸e hum𒊎ans have an ability to dig deep and forget about pain.

“Stunni🌳ng by Espargaro. To do that kind of lap you need to take max🅠imum risks.

“Despite bei𝔉ng in massive discomfort, it was the perfo✃rmance of his life.

“You need to put it all together to win a world championship and this is wh♏y Aleix is a threat this year.”

Guintoli adꦍded about Espargaro’s crash: “It doesn’t get much🐟 more violent.

“We see a lot of crashes [on that turn] 💖on the front end. 

“A brand new, or on the first few laps, of a hard tyre - you need to take your time to activate it. It is easy to🌊 make a mistake like this and be surprised.

“The way it works is - ꦺthe hard tyre, the morꩲe load it needs, and the more time it needs. The easier it is to get surprised by violent crashes. It is harder to feel the limit, the harder the tyre is.

“Especially on that specific tur🍷n when you have✅n’t turned left for a while.

“The tyr𒅌es need time to be bedded in. These are designed to activate fast. But the harde♚r they are, the harder they can be to activate. You need to respect that.

“The harder the tyre, the harder to get a pro🔯per feel for it.

“Obviously even the crash control team could not pick up the 𓃲slide.

“He could have really hurt hiꦯmself. We saw him flying high in the🍃 air and landing heavily.”
