168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro will bring an end to eight seasons with Aprilia, 14 full seasons in MotoGP, at the end of the current campaign.

A three-time MotoGP🥀 race winner including twice in Catalunya last season, Espargaro made the decision ahead of his home round in Barcelona, which caught some riders off guard.

Not one who was surprised was championship lead😼er Jorge Martin, who admits he had alꦑready spoken to the Aprilia rider before the announcement.

“I spoke with him last wee𓆏k and he was like ‘I’m not going to cry, I’m not goi🐲ng to cry, but finally he did’,” said Martin.

“For sure, he is a really important person in my life and I remember in 2013 I was his fan and 🎐he didn’t even know me.

“But then, finally, he is not🌳 just my friend. He is my brother. Sometimes I am his son and I join him and his family many days for dinner.

“I t🌠hink he is one of the most important people in my life, so how could I not cry? He did a lot to stop and be with hꦜis family. He will have time to himself.

“It will be even more difficult to follow him on the bicycle. ☂I’m so happy for him and his family.”

Another one of Espargaro’s close friends who lives in Andorra is Alex Rins, who also spoke about Esparga🅠ro’s decision to call🌊 time on his full-time racing career.

Rins ꦿadded: “It was big news. I’m super happy for him because if he decide🐻d to stop racing it is because he wants to and deserves to.

“He did some๊ really difficult but great seasons. His history is not easy. But he is a fighter. 

“He fights a lot and trains really ℱhard day-by-day to achieve his goals. 

“I’m super proud of him and wish him a lot of luck in t♛he futurওe.”
