“I tried everything. I had a bad start, we had a problem with the clutch, that’s something we have to improve. Then I lost a lot of time with Alex Marquez, again like in MotoGP Mandalika he raced over the limit, he hit me three times, ” said Espargaro after the race quoted from Spotv Asia.
“I don’t understand why, because in the end he didn’t have the pace to compete. He was really crazy. We lost a lot of time, I don’t think it needs to happen. But this is a race, in the end I tried to do it. comeback as strong as possible,” continued Espargaro.
Alex also responded to Espargaro’s comments casually and said that racing each other and elbowing each other in racing was normal. Alex didn’t even hesitate if he had to hit Espargaro again on another occasion.
“This is a race and they taught me that way, to defend my position and my team, and I will do that every race. I think that’s why they paid me, right?” he explained.
“If I have to defend and there is contact, then that’s natural right? He defends his team, and I defend my team and I will do it again if needed,” said Marquez quoted from Racing bike.
In addition to competing fiercely with Espargaro, Alex also duels against his brother. Alex was happy even though he had to lose narrowly to Marc, who was able to race his bike towards the finish line.
Marc, who finished in sixth place, also said he was happy to have a duel against Alex. The former world champion emphasized that he was not indiscriminate when he was on the race track, even though he had to duel with his younger brother.
“I raced very well, although in the last lap I was able to catch Alex, it doesn’t matter if he is your brother or not, he will definitely try to overtake me again,” said Marquez.
