Yonny Hernandez (Team Aspar MotoGP) was joined yesterday by brothers Pol Espargaro (Monster Yamaha Tech 3) and Aleix Espargaro (Team Suzuki Ecstar) for a trip around Buenos Aires on motorcycles whose respective teams defend the colors.
Starting at 'La Biela', a traditional and iconic Argentinian café frequented by many famous authors, actors and racing drivers, the trio were soon joined by around 40 fans and a police escort.
They soon found themselves in Puerto Madero, a trendy area of Buenos Aires known for its modern architecture. The Puerto Madero district is the largest urban renewal project in Buenos Aires and its greatly improved roads took our three drivers along the seaside, before plunging them into the heart of the capital's oldest 'barrio', San Telmo .
After a final burn on the cobblestones to greet the local population, the trio finally arrived at 'La Bombonera', the landmark of the Boca Juniors football club. All three drivers are football fans and were delighted to receive shirts from the famous team with their name and number on the back.
Licenciado Gustavo Santos, the Minister of Tourism, the Governor of Santiago del Estero and Claudia Abdala de Zamora were also present to welcome MotoGP™ to Argentina.
Negotiations continue in a positive manner to extend the Argentine Grand Prix contract for a period of three years.
