Aleix Espargaro hailed younger brother Pol Espargaro’s sixth place in last weekend’s Austrian MotoGP Sprint as a timely reminder of his talents.
Back, neck, jaw and rib fractures in Portimao kept Espargaro away from his GASGAS-branded machine until Silverstone, with Austria marking just his second full event of the season.
“It’s just the Sprint and sixth position, but Pol’s here,” said Aleix. “A lot of people in the paddock - and this makes me very angry - forget who Pol is, what he achieved, what he did for this brand [KTM]. “We have to have more patience, we have to give more time. This is the most difficult class in the world.”But with Pedro Acosta needing a KTM MotoGP seat for next season and the Austrian factory’s quest for more grid places so far thwarted, patience might be in short supply.
