Front tyre pressure concerns led Aprilia\u2019s Aleix Espargaro to start the MotoGP Austrian Grand Prix with what felt like 'a flat tyre'.
MotoGP's new tyre pressure rules, enforced from the British GP, have been met with widespread criticism from riders.
Rising front pressures are more likely when riding in packs, particularly due to the turbulence generated by modern bikes' aerodynamics, with the hard braking nature of the Red Bull Ring posing a major challenge for riders. "And [in the grand prix] we started very, very low, like a flat tyre. It was unbelievable. You cannot imagine how low we start and we are having some troubles also in Aprilia because we are one of the bikes that has higher front temperature.
"I push the guys so much because it's something we must improve," he said of the RS-GP's starts, having recovered to sixth in Sunday's race.
