Budding Monster Yamaha Tech 3 rider Pol Espargaro has wished to revive his moto racing battles with the current Moto GP World Champion Marc Marquez one day. The rookie rider said so because he used to be the main competitor of Marquez and not Valentino Rossi, when the two used to race in 125cc category and Moto2 World Championships. When Marquez won his 125 title season, Espargaroemerged as the third best rider. Then in 2013 when Repsol Honda Team acquired Marquez’s services to race in Moto GP, Pol managed to won the Moto2 championship.
Sharing his thoughts, Espargaro said after the race in Catalunya that he hopes someday he will be among the leaders (Marc, Valentino Rossi, DaniPedrosa and Jorge Lorenzo) and fighting with them for the lead. Pol said that he is not sure when that time will come, but he is certain that all riders in the premier class have the same target in their mind.
Espargaro also said that he knows that he could beat Marquez with the same bikes and experience in Moto2, but certainly that’s not possible in Moto GP it will be more tough for him because in this class a lot depends on the machine. In Moto GP everything is different, Pol added.
He said, in contrast things are more similar in Moto2 that is why he had some great battles with Marc in that category and he hopes that someday he will again have a fight with Marquez in Moto GP. Considering the current situation, where Marc has won all seven races of the 2014 season and Pol has finished just once in top five, it does not seem that Espargaro will be able to give Marquez a fight in the upcoming rounds.
Besides this, if Espargaro really want to give Marquez a tough fight in Moto GP he has to get rid of all the issues with his bike. Given that the Tech 3 rider himself admitted that they need to work on the used tyres in order to have better grip. Still one cannot completely discard the Spanish rider out of the competition, as he has earned 58 valuable points of Monster Yamaha team during this season. That has enabled Pol to hold sixth position in the overall standings behind Andrea Dovizioso of Ducati.
Just as you cannot discard J&S Accessories from the list of top motorcycle stores in the UK, as the firm has been providing top quality helmets, boots, gloves, clothing and much to the riders for several years now.
