Aleix Espargaro<\/a>, the HRC development rider also taking part in the Aragon test.<\/p>\n\u201cHonestly, I think it was a very positive first day for him,\u201d Fernandez explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cI could see also his data during the lap and how he was riding the bike, and I was surprised in a good way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we know he is super-talented, we cannot discuss the talent of Toprak.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut MotoGP is different, how you have to ride a MotoGP is different.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFor sure, the lap times in Aragon were slow, also for us \u2013 Aleix [Espargaro] and I were there and we were slow compared to the race weekend, but testing is different conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut he was not far, and especially the riding was not bad. We will see here with everyone on-track and also another circuit, but it was not bad.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aleix Espargaro echoed Fernandez\u2019s thoughts on Razgatlioglu\u2019s test.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith Toprak, the thing is that I never talked with him before and I have a bit of a wrong image because he is a very hard rider on-track,\u201d Espargaro said in Valencia, where he is wildcarding this weekend.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut he was very kind, very good guy; I talked with him in the hotel, very nice guy, it really surprised me.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw him on-track and the only thing I can say is that the conditions were super-difficult because we had 14C or 15C of track temperature \u2013 I was not able to lean in corner two and he was I would say quite fast.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Yamaha did a good move with him.\u201d<\/p>\n
