Pol Espargaro believes Honda wasted 'time and money on me' in a 'completely redundant' 2022 MotoGP season during which he had the 'same problems every single weekend.'

The Spanish rider, who returns to KTM with its rebranded Tech3 GasGas squad for the 2023 season, said it was"difficult to accept" the team's decision to pause development on his bike ahead of his departure.

Asked whether he felt Honda's decision not to give him new parts was them looking more at the short term, he said:"It's how I worked at KTM. At KTM, until Valencia, I was testing new things. "It's difficult to accept, but at the end of the day, it ends up in the same place. It's not my factory, it's not my bike, I'm just a guy that they pay to ride a bike, that's it. I do whatever they want to.

Speaking during the Valencia weekend, his last with the team, Espargaro expressed his disappointment at his time with the squad and said he was"sad" for the situation. "This is MotoGP, it's never the same. You need to keep improving and keep doing things to be better, but we didn't. Well, I didn't, in my side of the pitbox.

He said:"From the good things, you learn a lot, but from the bad things I think you learn even more – how to manage the bad and stressful situations.
