168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pol Espargaro will return to competitive MotoGP action for the first time since last year’s Valencia finale with a wild-card appe🐻arance 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 Acosta.

The change🔯 also allowed Espargaro much-needed healing time after last year’s extensiv😼e Portimao injuries.

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

But Espargaro highlighted that Pedrosa’s situation was different, Jerez being one of KTM’s chosen testing tracks, whereas the factory has had no prio🐼r 2ꦓ024 laps at Mugello.

As such, one of Espargaro’s main💛 tasks is to prepare the latest RC16 parts for ♈Monday’s official test with the factory race riders.

“Mugello is a tricky place, we know how tough and techn🐼ical it is and I didn’t race since last year in Valencia, more 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 🏅productive for the team and give them some good information for 🍸the guys on Monday.”

Quizzed on the comparison with Pedrosa, who also battl🌠ed for MotoGP podiums at Jerez and Misano last season, Espargaro replied:

“Dani 💞was thinking maybe on performing a little 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 te𒀰st here. So we don't have information but we need that information for the guys on Monday. So that's why we've come here.

“For sure we wa💙nt to per🌳form well but it's not our 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 Barcelona and are going to be up to speed so qui𒈔ckly on Friday.

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

Espargaro missed last ye💃ar's Italian MotoGP due to his Portimao injuries.
