Valencia MotoGP: Aleix Espargaro criticises Fabio Quartararo’s no-show of safety meeting - “you cannot complain later”
The reigning world champion Quartararo explained that he doﷺesn’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 [𝐆that riders are not always🅘 listened to].
“It’s true that sometimes we’re asking for many things. For example, we’ve just been talking about Phillip Island - to add some aspha🙈lt in some places for three years and nothing has happened yet.
“But in other places, yes, in other things where we talk they’ve listened and tried to lea🍌rn.
“Sometimes not even all the riders in the safety commission have th🧔e same opinion, so how can they follow one opinion? But they do their best.
“I was very disappointed when I saw the safety commꦇission of Malaysia.ﷺ Everyone is free to go. I think it is a mistake to make it mandatory because everyone should want to go, to feel comfortable to bring their opinion to this situation.
“And if you don’t, it’s bꦑetter not to com💜e. But you miss something.”
Safety has become a major issue since Jorಌge Nওavarro, the Moto2 rider, lay with a broken leg after crashing in Australia and the race was not red flagged.
Quartararo explained his stance: “I’ve been one time [in 2022] and I decided not to🌳 go anymore.”
Asked if he felt riders are listened to, he said: “We are not. A few times like the red flag incident i🐽n Australia – many times.
“I have notඣhing against it, I’m jus𝔉t 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 fi🌌nishes in P15 or lower to retain his championshꦐip.
