Aleix Espargaro and Jorge Martin 14th in brutal mountain bike challenge
The experienced Aleix Espargaro encouraged and dragged his friend Jo𝓡rge Martin through the three-day event

It was not a relaxing Easter weekend for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin.
The MotoGP riders took part in the ဣVuelta Ibiza at the 🃏weekend, an extremely demanding three-day mountain bike race.
Espargaro and Martin finished 14🐼th in their category, only 50 minutes behind the winners Dario Cherchi and Hector Leonardo Paez, who are professional mountain bikers.
They were 18th out of a total of 173 pairs.
Cycling coach Juan Jolobato, and fitness trainer Jorge Echevarria (who also works with Mar꧙tin in the MotoGP paddock) accompanied the duo for the three days.
The families of the best friends were also on hand to enjoy the Ibiza sunshine while Espargaro and Martin used their weekend off to push theꦜmselves to the physical limit in a different discipline.
Cycling,🌸 for Espargaro, is nothing new although he is usually found on road bikes rather than mountain bikes.
Bu▨t Espargaro does still have some mountain experience - in 2019 he finished fifth in the Cape Epic, a gruelling South African race.
Espargaro’s experience o🌞f cycling meant that he frequently had to encourage and push♐ Martin through the three-day Ibiza event.
They retu🐼rn to MotoGP next week at the Circuit of the Americas in Texas.
After two rounds of the 2024 season, Pramac Ducati rider Martin ꧃is leading the standings.
But heꦫ knows that rival Ducati riders Enea Bastianini꧟ and Marc Marquez particularly relish the American circuit.
