The Grand Prix of the Americas, which will host a new Moto GP World Championship race tomorrow, has for years received much criticism from several of the most prestigious riders in the World Championship. With the paddock especially sensitized since the fatal accident that claimed the life of the young Spanish rider Dean Berta Viñales and with the security of the championship in question, the voices against the state of the American circuit have returned to sound with force in the last hours. «The problem is that we have discussed this asphalt about 100 times. They always tell us that they will fix it, but in curves 2, 3 and 10 there are more potholes than in 2019, “a legend like Valentino Rossi.
The Spanish Marc Márquez, who lives an irregular season due to injuries, has been one of the first to charge against the state of the course. «Here, every year is worse and worse. And they are not potholes because of the asphalt, but because of the ground that has been raised. You must adapt and you have to see the lines well. Dangerous? It is clear that it is not easy to drive with these potholes and it is not pleasant, but for my taste I find the circuits where the walls are closer to be dangerous, “said the Catalan on arrival in the United States.
Another who has not moderated his tone is the current leader of the classification, the French Fabio Quartararo: «The track is more or less like the one I use for my training sessions… in motocross. It’s really bad. Two years ago they told us that we had to resurface and this is worse. It is barely acceptable for a race. I do not know what to say, “wielded the Gaul forcefully.
The also Spanish Aleix Espargaró and Joan Mir, the latter current World Cup champion, have supported the words of their comrades before the media. “This is a joke. This track is dangerous. Really dangerous. We shouldn’t run here. It’s like a nightmare and I don’t want to imagine what it will be like when the 20 motorcycles leave with a full tank, ”explained Espargaró. Mir, for his part, has been somewhat more technical in his explanations and how the potholes can affect the course of the race: «When the most delicate issue is done is when you do a fast lap and look for something else, and with these potholes it is difficult to know where the limit is, that the motorcycle jumps and you fall ».
