P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Pol Espargaro has explained that the hot flyaway MotoGP races are placing an even greater physical burden on his damaged body.
The GASGAS Tech3 rider, who suffered extensive injuries during practice in March, missed the first half of the season. Espargaro fractured ten bones in his back, neck, ribs, and jaw, leaving him shorter. While he can ride perfectly in normal weather conditions, the heat seems to trigger a nerve disorder in some muscles on the left side of his body, making him struggle more in hot conditions. He experiences pain and tiredness on the left part of his body, which affects his performance in tough situations. After three demanding races in a row, Espargaro hopes that a week of rest will help him feel better for the upcoming Malaysian Grand Prix. Since his return, he has achieved a sixth-place finish in a Sprint and twelfth in a grand prix. In 2024, he will switch to KTM wild-card and test riding duties to make way for Pedro Acosta.
