Aprilia’s Aleix Espargaro admits this weekend’s AustralianGP is a must-win for him if he is to have any realistic chance of fighting for the 2022 MotoGP title now. Here's what he said ⬇️
Asked what he feels he needs to do on Sunday, Espargaro replied: “Win, because 20 points looks not so much.
“But in reality, in three races against Pecco and Fabio 20 points is quite a lot. So, I need to win if I want to fight for this title.”Espargaro comes to Australia off the back of two difficult weekends in Thailand and Japan. While a bike issue led to him finishing without points at Motegi, his difficult Thailand weekend was a result of Michelin bringing a stiffer tyre carcass to Buriram to cope with the extreme heats.
Returning to its standard tyre carcass for Phillip Island, Espargaro said it was important for him to have a normal Friday in Australia after what happened in Thailand.
