Aleix Espargaro: “If you complain, you’re a whiner - it’s good to say what you think”

Marc Marquez and, now, Alex Marquez have both come under criticism from Espargaro, al🍃ong with Race Direction and the MotoGP Stewards.
The Aprilia rider’s latest annoyance came when he was touched by Alex Marquez in the sprint race at the Fr♈ench MotoGP but no sancti𝓡ons were applied.
🐼He was asked🧸 about the incident by and replied: “Alex Marquez? It doesn't matter, you've seen the race.
“If you say that name, it's because you've seen a🎀 replay of what happened.
“I already said that 🥃I wꦑould not talk about incidents anymore.”
Espargaro is regularly one of the more vocal MotoGP riders and the subject of the𝓰 Stewards, and how they sanction riders, has wrangled him.
💎But he has insisted that he won’t stop speaking his mind.
"I think it's good to say wh𝓀at you think,” he said.
“If not, we all come here to say: 'Nah, it went well,𝕴 tomorrow m💎ore, the rubber...'
“You are going to get bored.

“Here if you🎃 complain, you're a whi♐ner all day, and if you criticise, you're criticising every day. Everything seems bad.
"When you give your opinion and you are sincere, which I think is what you have ♉to be, if you cry, you are a crybaby, and all day in the com🔯ments 'crying'.
“There comes a time when yoꦰu don't know what to do.”
MotoGP riders and Stewards held a meeting in Le Mans abo🦹ut recent sanctions that several𝐆 riders had been unhappy about.
But t𝕴he meeting did not immediately alleviate those concerns and it remains a source of frustration🐷 for many, including Espargaro, who claims he will refuse to speak about the subject because it won’t solve anything.
