Until retiring at the end of 2021, Rossi held the tag of oldest rider on the grid after competing until the age of 42. However, with t⛎he addition of sprint races, season calendars seemingly getting longer every year and the younger talܫent coming through, Espargaro doesn’t see his MotoGP future lasting beyond the age of 35.

"Right now I don't see myself in Mo✤toGP beyond 2024," Espargaro told . "What Valentino did [Rossi rode in the premier class until he was 42] is great, but I don't think I'll have the strength to do it. 

"Let's see how I feel then in 2024. However, I think that with the current calendars and the introduction of sprint races, it will be d🥀ifficult 💛to ride past the age of 35. 

"This is mainly for mental reasons. For example, the 2023 calendars are crazy, especially the la🎶st part of the season. We're going to be spending a lot of time away from home and when you're unde♊r 25, it's anything but easy."

Espargaro is not the first rider𒈔 to voice concerns at the length of the 2023 MotoGP calendar, which is set to test riders but also team members in a more demanding way than ever before.

With pea🦄k performance and athletic ability being at an all-time high in MotoGP, Espargaro believes every small det꧑ail makes a difference.

The Spanish rider added: "Of course, MotoGP is also very ph𝔉ysically demanding, but as a professional you have to be in good shape. 

"Athletics used to not really be relevant in our sport, but now we're physically at ꧋an extremely high level and we're all very careful about what we do eat, how we train and how we regenerate."
