Complicated Silverstone Sunday for Espargaro and Honda HRC Test Team
A crash before the red flag and a DNF made for a disappointing end to the British GP for Aleix Espargaro and the Honda HRC Test Team. Able to try a number of settings and items made for a productive weekend, even without a tangible reward at the end of the 19-lap race.

“It was a complicated day today. I had a small crash in the first start and after the fall my bike made contact with Morbidelli’s, I was able to join the restart but had to change bike and tyres. The feeling with the rear wasn’t the same and we had to stop. Overall, it has been a positive weekend and when we see what Zarco, Mir and Marini are able to do – it’s very motivating. Honda is clearly making progress, and we have some things coming to help them even more. We tried a lot this weekend for the future and it’s great to be part of this project now.”
