Morbidelli “has no respect for anybody” in MotoGP – Espargaro
During the third practice session on Saturday afternoon, Aleix Espargaro hit Franco Morbidelli’s crash helmet after a collision at Turn 6. As a result, Espargaro received a six-place grid penalty and a €10,000 fine, while Morbidelli strongly criticized him. Speaking to the media on Sunday, Espargaro expressed remorse for his behavior but accused Morbidelli of repeatedly obstructing other riders on track, citing incidents in Malaysia the previous week. Espargaro admitted his mistake but believed it was unfair to judge the incident based on the last few seconds. Additionally, Espargaro expressed anger over Morbidelli’s comments about his family, and he vowed that this issue was not over. Unfortunately, Espargaro was forced to withdraw from the Grand Prix in Qatar after seven laps due to a small fracture in his leg, as well as the accumulation of blood in the injured area, which caused a loss of power and made riding impossible.
