Aleix Espargaró finished the GP of Misano in twelfth place, earning four championship points. Starting from the fifteenth spot on the grid, he lost a few positions at the start, but was able to recover, lapping consistently and also thanks to a few crashes by the riders ahead of him. The poor grip on the Italian circuit did not help the performance of the RS-GP and Aleix who, although managing to get close to the riders battling for the top ten, was unable to attack for better positions.

Andrea Iannone, after the injury suffered to his left shoulder in the crash on Saturday and, as announced yesterday evening after the medical check-up, was not on the starting grid. Declared “unfit” by the Misano Medical Centre, Andrea now has just a few days to recover ahead of the Aragón round which will take place in less than five days, with the first practice sessions.
