Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Vinales react to practice near-miss
The winner at Catalunya, Espargaro, expressed frustration when he closed in on Vinales, who had run off track at turn one and was cleaning his tires. Vinales then missed his braking and went through the gravel, weaving when he returned to the track and catching Espargaro off guard. Espargaro believes Vinales could have done more to avoid the near-collision, but acknowledges it was just a racing incident. Vinales apologized but felt there was nothing else he could have done in that moment. Espargaro is confident in his pace for qualifying and is pleased with how the RS-GP23 bike is performing at the Buddh International Circuit, although improvements are needed in certain corners.
