JAKARTA - The 2022 MotoGP competition continues at the Silverstone Circuit, England, after the half-season break. At this moment, Fabio Quartararo is wary of Aleix Espargaro's position in the standings.
Currently Quartararo leads the standings with 172 points. The Yamaha rider is only 21 points ahead of Espargaro who is in second place.
The fact that Espargaro was a tight competitor in the title race never crossed Quartararo's mind. He actually thought the Ducati rider, Francesco Bagnaia, would be his strongest rival.
"Before the championship started, I thought (Francesco) Bagnaia would be the challenger, but Aleix (Espargaro) has been quite consistent and always on the podium," said Quartararo, quoted from AS.
Quartararo and Espargaro's rivalry will resume after a long holiday in the middle of the season. Unfortunately, Quartararo had to serve a long lap penalty at Silverstone later.
This happened because Quartararo was considered to have made a mistake while appearing in the Dutch MotoGP.
"We knew it would be difficult but if I'm honest, this (long lap penalty) is the motivation that makes me do my best," said Quartararo.
