168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro expected to ride his final lap as a full-time MotoGP rider at Valencia on November 17.

But the res෴cheduled season finale, following the disastrous Valencia flooding, means Espargaro will instead bid farewell to MotoGP a🐟t his local Barcelona circuit.

Espargar♒o’s thoughts are still very much with th♕e Valencia region. 

But in pure performance terms, he also has slightly mixed feelings about a return𒁃 to Barcelona after such an ’amazing’ weekend in May.

The 35-year-old announced his🐎 retirement plans in an emotional pre-event press conference before putting his Aprilia on top ﷺof the Friday timesheets, then on pole position for qualifying.

Espargaro celebrated a dream Sprint victory, his only win of the season so far, before waving ‘goodbye’ to hi🍷s home fans with fourth - as top non-Ducati - in the grand prix.

Catalunya remains Espargaro’s best weekend of the year, while the RS-GP has been absent from the top three since his Sprint podium in Austria (round 11 of 20༺).

But with Espargaro a winner in May, and the RS-GP finishin🎐g one-two at Catalunya the year before, can Espargaro😼 end his full-time career on a high?

“Hopeful🌞ly!” Esꦉpargaro said before leaving Sepang in Malaysia.

“I’m a little bit worried because the last time we wen🍬t there was an amazing weekend. I could not really dream of better.

"But I’m positive. Hopefully, it is a good one.

“It’s not going to be that hot and that’s where the Aprilia suffers the most! For sure we will have better feelings and I hope to do 𓆉🌊a good race.

“It will b𝔍e special, my la♒st with Aprilia, with my family and friends very close to home.

"That’s the only, sm♒all, positive thing [about the change of venue].”

Espargaro has pledged to don🌼ate prize money from the weekend in aid of Valencia.

MotoGP is al🍰so due to announce special initiatives for an event officially titled as the ‘Motul Solidarity 𝐆Grand Prix of Barcelona’.

Espargaro will then start a new chapter as a HRC test and wild-card ride🌟r after the season final✃e.

Team-mate Maverick Vinales will also be riding in his last grand prix for A🌱prilia, before switching to Tech3 KTM.
