P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Aleix Espargaro offered his first explanation of the incident with Franco Morbidelli while lying with his stricken leg in plaster.
The Aprilia rider suffered a fractured fibula and incurred a €10,000 fine for slapping Morbidelli on the helmet during the Qatar MotoGP. Morbidelli believes that the punishment handed to Espargaro is insufficient and has expressed his dissatisfaction. However, Espargaro disagrees and accepts the sanction, admitting his excessive reaction and the negative image it portrayed. Both riders were involved in separate incidents, with Espargaro colliding with Morbidelli and Oliveira, resulting in injuries for all involved. Despite the pain, Espargaro hopes to recover and race again the following day.
