"Well, the importance of this podium, first of all the most important is for Honda to have the two bikes first and second," Espargaro, who is placed eighth on the Riders' standings, said after at the Emilia Romagna MotoGP race.
"This is unbelievable after some tough seasons, last year was also a tough season for Repsol Honda. This is, talking about ego, super-important to me as a rider.
"I think it's my best position ever in MotoGP, always I was in third position at KTM. So, it's an important moment for my career for sure, but I feel more relief for Honda," he added.
"So, for sure it's important for me, but I just saw Takeo's [Yokoyama, technical manager] face, [ [HRC director Tetsuhiro] Kuwata-san's face today and it was more than amazing. It's crazy how happy they are."
Ducati are placed at the top of Constructors' Championship standings and they are followed by Yamaha and Suzuki respectively.
