He's (Aleix) always fast there (was on pole for the race earlier in the season, and four of his seven career poles were there), but that doesn't translate to most tracks.Aliex Espargaro showed that the Aprilla is fully capable to keeping up with the Ducati's. Congrats to him on a great career and his retirement from racing.
Jorge is the man. I really hope he runs the #1 on the Aprilla next year and repeats the title.
Congratulations and good luck to Jorge. He'll be up front some of the time next year, I'm sure. Maybe more than some of the time.
And Ducati has two fewer bikes next year, so the Ducati domination won't be quite as comprehensive.
