After seeing the Buddh International Circuit first hand, Pol Espargaro believes he and other riders were too critical of this weekend’s Indian MotoGP venue.
The GASGAS Tech3 rider confirmed there are still areas that could be improved from a safety standpoint - the proximity of trackside walls in the Turn 2-3-4 area had been flagged up ahead of the event - but said the same applies to other circuits already on the calendar.“I walked it two times yesterday. And I ran once this morning,” Espargaro said on Thursday. “Honestly, I think we were a little bit too hard before coming here and seeing what it was really [like].
“About safety, for sure there are some things that can be improved. But I believe in all the race tracks in the world there are places where we would like to improve. And here for sure we need to figure it out, especially [what might happen when] racing and crashing.“But I believe, as I said, that we've been too hard before coming here.
