Would Aleix Espargaró also be on the transfer market? It's a rumor that we didn't expect since it concerns a rider who we are convinced will end his career where he is, at Aprilia. And for good reason: he has worked hard since 2017 to bring RS-GP to this level of competition in MotoGP, and which was seen in Argentina, where it came to fruition with the 32-year-old Spaniard. But according to his compatriots nestled in the paddock, everything will also be open…
The noise is started by Ricard Jove, former pilot now collaborator of Dazn, and if it were true, it would have the effect of a bomb: it is therefore not unthinkable to imagine the current leader of the MotoGP world championship, before the Grand Prix at Austin this weekend, somewhere other than at Aprilia in 2023 ...
According to the source, Aleix Espargarò could end his career in the premier category driving something other than an RS-GP. After six seasons with the Venetian manufacturer, after the victory in Argentina, the elder Pol declared: “ you never know what will happen in the future. I'd like to stay here for two more years, but it's not just up to me. I hope Aprilia appreciates my work ". Apparently, the economic demands of the Catalan driver could rise after leading the manufacturer to achieve the first podium at Silverstone in 2021, the first pole position and the first victory…
Aleix Espargaró's experience would be sought after
« His future could be with one of the Japanese brands “, explains collaborator Dazn and former pilot. He excludes that this could be Honda, so the circle shrinks between Yamaha et Suzuki. “ Perhaps its value lies precisely in the ability to continue the development of a motorcycle and, when everyone is dedicated to recruiting young talents, perhaps someone could bank on experience ". Which is still a lot of “maybe”…
If this were nevertheless true, it would mean that a place with Suzuki ou Yamaha would be released, and that the one to take from Aprilia would arouse great interest given the current level of RS-GP. To be continued ?
Be careful that there may be one of the time bombs! @AleixEspargaro , the world leader, the Captain of Aprilia, could not continue with the brand of Noale to weigh all this. What is your destiny? The retirement? NO, your future could be under the Japanese brand! 😳
