Aleix Espargaro has supported Francesco Bagnaia's claims that "it's ridiculous" when riders wait for a tow in qualifying.
Once again, Q2 at Silverstone was dominated by slow-riding as the likes of Marc Marquez waited patiently for a pole contender to drag them round.
Espargaro was untroubled though as he came across the line last, and crucially on his own, to steal pole away from Ducati. Espargaro told the media including Crash.net who are present at Silverstone:"I agree. In the qualifying you can take two risks. The first one is to go out first because the first one will be followed and you are in the mix with everybody. "I don't like to go behind the others. I like to work by myself. I agree with Pecco.
In the sprint race, Espargaro claimed an impressive third although he wanted more after starting first.
