Aleix Espargaro came very close to crashing on the final lap of the BritishGP, but it helped set up the overtake that ultimately won him the race. MotoGP
MotoGP British Grand Prix winner Aleix Espargaro was “very close to crashing” at Farm curve on the last lap, which set up his wild Maggotts overtake on Francesco Bagnaia.The Aprilia rider pipped championship leader Bagnaia on the line by 0.215 seconds after an enthralling last-lap battle on slick tyres as rain fell in parts of the Silverstone track.
“I was a lot faster in corners two and three, so my plan was to overtake Pecco in two and three,” Espargaro said.“I was very close to crashing, and I lost ground. “And obviously we don’t have the points we deserve. I was fast on Friday here, unfortunately yesterday was a wet race with a wet tyre. “So, then I was able to prepare the pick-up a little bit earlier. Actually, to do the pick-up in the acceleration is still one of the points I have to improve a lot.
