MotoGP – Aleix Espargaró talks… and Jorge Lorenzo reacts!

MotoGP – Aleix Espargaró talks… and Jorge Lorenzo reacts!

Alex Espargaró

Aprilia Gresini rider Aleix Espargaró is still enjoying his final days of vacations at his home in Andorra, Spain, where the MotoGP rider had a tough test to his physical shape by competing on a Ski event that took his body to the limit. Nonetheless being on vacations, Espargaró doesn’t have a problem to speak about all things MotoGP related, and this time he spoke about Marc Marquez.

Speaking to Sky Sport MotoGP about what’s called the “Dream Team” of Marc Marquez and Jorge Lorenzo, on the Repsol Honda, Aleix Espargaró said that “It will be difficult. They’re both very strong riders, but to me Marquez is on another level, he is at home, the bike was developed by him with his people. To me, it’s impossible to beat him on the same bike”.

Well, Jorge Lorenzo, who will miss the Sepang test in a few days’ time still recovering from the surgery on his left wrist, saw those comments by the oldest of the Espargaró brothers, and didn’t wait long to reply.

Using his Twitter account, Lorenzo quoted famous boxer Muhammad Ali, when he was questioned about how he defined the word “impossible”

“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

"Imposible es sólo una palabra que usan los hombres débiles para vivir fácilmente en el mundo que se les dio, sin atreverse a explorar el poder que tienen para cambiarlo. Imposible no es un hecho, es una opinión. Imposible no es nada.” Muhammad Ali https://t.co/euiD4vEzlh

Is Aleix Espargaró right by saying Marc Marquez is unbeatable by any other rider on the same bike? Or will we see Jorge Lorenzo beating his new teammate at the Repsol Honda team?

With more than ten years as a motorcycle journalist, i enjoy everything that has to do with two-wheels. I'm a fan of sport bikes and i prefer riding them on a racetrack, but give me a road filled with corners and good asphalt and i'll be there to have some fun!
