Following our article announcing the signing of an agreement between Pol Espargaró and HJC, the helmet manufacturer published the following press release, telling us that the contract was for two years.
HJC SIGNS POL ESPARGARÓ FOR THE NEXT TWO SEASONS.
Founded in 1971, HJC Helmets, the world's leading manufacturer of motorcycle helmets, will celebrate its jubilee, with fifty years spent designing and producing helmets. Despite a difficult global context, the HJC teams are working to ensure that 2021 is an important year to start from a sporting point of view. Indeed, HJC is extremely proud to announce the arrival of the new recruit of Team Honda Repsol, in the person of Pol Espargaró, for the next two Moto GP seasons 2021 and 2022.
Pol, the 2 Moto 2013 World Champion, who still holds the record for the youngest rider to score a Grand Prix point at the age of 15 is now a seasoned veteran of the premier class who has just won his career-best fifth place in the 2020 Moto GP Championship standings. The rider from Granollers in Spain, now 29, is set to continue his momentum in 2021, where he should have the pace to win and launch a real title race with a new bike.
« Pol Espargaró should be a serious weapon just like he has been this year in 2021 » pointed out a recent article on MotoGP.com regarding Pol's new program.
This first victory in Moto GP eludes the number 44, but we can imagine that his super-aggressive riding style will suit the Honda until the end. Will Pol Espargaró fight for the title aboard the Honda RC213V? Who knows... But you have to think that a victory is within reach for the 2 Moto2013 world champion.
“I am very happy to sign with HJC Helmets, the world leader in motorcycle helmets,” says Pol Espargaró.
« From partnering with the Red Bull Moto GP Rookies Cup to sponsoring top riders in various Moto GP categories, you can see HJC's impressive commitment to racing and, more importantly, HJC's commitment to quality, innovation and technology with its 2021 racing helmet, are the main reasons that attracted me to the brand. I look forward to many years of successful cooperation with HJC Helmets. »
With the new season fast approaching, HJC can't wait for Pol to get on his new race bike for next year, the championship-proven Honda RC213V with its brand new HJC racing helmet, the RPHA1.
Welcome Pol Espargaró to the HJC family!
