Aleix Espargaró will remember the 2023 British GP all his life. The 34-year-old driver from Granollers, the most experienced and veteran on the grid, made a brilliant comeback from twelfth on the grid to achieve his second career victory. The Aprilia captain knew how to wait for his moment and kept his cool in the wake of champion Pecco Bagnaia, who opened the track from the third lap and seemed invincible once again on the back of the Ducati.
It seemed that Espargaró was hesitating when the rain appeared, but it was nothing more than an exercise for the head to match the beats of a heart that was fired with pulsations. He had more pace, he felt that it was his day, and he just waited to swing the ax on the last lap. He did it on the outside at the tricky Copse corner, just before the fast-paced interlocks of Maggots and Becketts, which passed like a typhoon despite the asphalt conditions. This is how I overtake Pecco. He thus he won the race. The Aprilia got traction out of nowhere on an ice track, conditioned by rain that, drop by drop, complicated the work of the riders and urged them to take risks to cover themselves with glory.
