Aleix Espargaro explains why he was 'angry' as rain fell prior to SpanishGP qualifying, before charging to pole position Full MotoGP story ⬇️
Light rain started to fall prior to the 15-minute pole shootout getting underway, with that precipitation carrying on for the first half of Q2.
“Has been a crazy morning,” Espargaro said. “I felt good from yesterday, so we decided to try an aerodynamic package and unfortunately I had a small crash.“So, I didn’t have the gamble to try the rain tyres and then slicks.“I did the mistake in the morning and it is how it is. But no worries, I controlled everything till the last lap and I pushed.”What the rest of the front row said
Despite this, he says this result is “a major bonus” for the sprint race later today and Sunday’s grand prix given how difficult it is to overtake at Jerez.
