168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pol Espargaro will return to competitive MotoGP actio🔯n for the first time since last year’s Valencia ༒finale with a wild-card appearance at Mugello this weekend.

The Spaniard, who took eight podiums during his full time🔜 premier-class career, switched to test-riding duties to make room for rookie star Pedro Ac𝕴osta.

The change also allowed Espargaro much-needed healing timeಌ after last year’s extensive Portimao injuries.

Espargaro’s return follows hot on the heels of fellow KTM 🌠test rider Dani Pedrosa’s latest wild-card outing at Jerez in late April, when he finished third in the 💜Sprint.

But Espargaro highlighted 🐬th🐟at Pedrosa’s situation was different, Jerez being one of KTM’s chosen testing tracks, whereas the factory has had no prior 2024 laps at Mugello.

As such, one of Espargaro’s main tasks is to prep👍are the latest RC16 parts for Monday’s o🐠fficial test with the factory race riders.

“Mugello is a tricky place, we know how tough and technical it is and I didn’t race since last year in Valencia, mo😼re than six months,” Espargaro told MotoGP.com on Thursday.

“Plus, we don't have this place as a test track.

“💟I want to perform well, but the most important thing is to be productiꦐve for the team and give them some good information for the guys on Monday.”

Quizzed on the comparison with Pedrosa, who aಞl🍌so battled for MotoGP podiums at Jerez and Misano last season, Espargaro replied:

“Dani was thinking maybe on performing a ꩲlitt🦹le bit more than testing. Also he has been racing in places that we have as test tracks - Jerez or Misano - so he was able to perform in a pretty good way. And we know how talented Dani is.

“We are in🤪 a different position. We don't test here. So we don't ꦏhave information but we need that information for the guys on Monday. So that's why we've come here.

“For sure𒐪 we want to perform well but it's not o🦋ur priority.

“I know that in the tests I'm not bad at all, but you need time on the bike because these guys come straight from Barcelo⛄na and are going to be up to speed so quickly on Friday.

“But as I said, our mai🧸n target is to deliver good information and to help the guys to perform in the Monday test."

Espargaro missed last year's Italian ಞMotoGP due to his Portimao injuries.
