about his deadline to decide: "In these four races, which are super mythical, very important circuits, in Jerez, Le Mans, Mugello and Barcelona.“I am in no hurry and Aprilia, I think Massimo said, that✃ they would be th💦e last to decide.
“So calm down, enjoy these races. They are🌼 some of the most beautiful on the calen🌸dar.
“The resul꧙ts, in the end, are what give y𝓰ou the strength to decide.”

"If I want to🦋 continue at ♐Aprilia, I will continue."
Espargaro admits that, while he weighs up whether to retire or not, his employers must look at alternative 💫riders.
🌺"I have made it☂ clear because the feeling I have is that I am not convinced,” he said.
“I am a person without filters, I could have been🌟 silent, but I have said what I think: I don't know if I ♌am going to continue.
“It is normal that other riders and Aprilia move.
"They can't wait until October because🧔 it's an official bike, one of♊ the best.
“And if I'mꦍ not there, a top rider has to go there."
📖Espargaro explained the reason that he is considering stepping away.
"I have the fe♔eling that what I have done is good,” he said.
“And I ജhave other concerns, the calendar is𝓀 increasingly complicated, the weekends are increasingly stressful. I am not very clear."
