Former MotoGP race winner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro has admitted to being “nervous” ahead of his first ride as a w♒ildcard for Honda this weekend at the Spanish Grand Prix.

Espargaro joined HRC in a test rider role at the end of last year when he retired from full-time racing after spending eight seasons as a factory Aprilia rider, and this weekend’s Spanish MotoGP in📖 Jerez will be the first time the 🍨Spanish rider will race the RC213V.

The 35-year-old said that the responsibility that comes with wearing the colours 🦄of HRC have left him feeling “a bit nervous” ahead of his race debut for the Japanese brand.

“🅰I’m] very happy,” Espargaro told MotoGP.com on his return to the paddock asܫ a competitor on a Grand Prix weekend at Jerez.

“I feel a bit strange; yesterday when I came to the paddock with my family we felt🌸 a bit strange, but happy – this is where I grew up so I still feel that it’s my home.

“A bit nervous to have these HRC colours, I feel a big responsibility – even if I’m just the test ridཧer, but this is the biggest team ever in ꦆour sport so I feel really blessed to be able to race with these colours,” he said.

Alt🐻hough nervous, Esparga🧔ro said that he is not putting any expectations or pressure on himself this weekend.

“I’m trying not to🌳 p꧒ut a lot of pressure on myself,” he said.

“I lived with the pressure durinꦺg 20 seasons, but it’s not my role anymore.

“Obviously, be🌼ing a part of HRC and being in t♈he MotoGP World Championship you have to be focused and you have to give your 100 per cent, but I’m not setting a goal like top-10 or podium or whatever because it would be not real.

“But, from tomo🥂rrow, we will see; I will try my best and we’ll see how far we can go.”

Additionally, Espargaro confirmed that he will have a different bike specification compare🌟d to HRC’s full-time race riders.

“The bike will be definitely different than Joan’s [Mi𝓰r] and Luca’s [Marini],” he said.

“Hopefully, during the weekend, we can discover that the bike 🌸🏅is a bit more competitive.

“We’ve been working hard and focusing on Joan’s and Luca’s problems and requests for the future, so hopefully we find out that we did one♋ step forward and they can have it in the near future.”
