168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro has hinted that he could make at least one more wild-card MotoGP appearance this season - even if he’s more than happ🤡y “testing and cycling”.

Espargaro, who scored three Grand Prix wins for Aprilia, was drafted into Ho🌸nda’s testing programme for 2025 and made h⭕is return to racing at last weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix.

Although primarily development-focused, the appearance marked the first time he had🌺 competed si✤nce an emotional home Barcelona farewell last November.

“Ye🗹ah, it was very strange,” Espargaro said of watching the opening rounds from home.

“It’s been 20 seasons racing. But I realised I took the right decision. I was super relaxed, enjoying the races. After America, when I saw the big mess on the grid, I said to my wife, ‘lucky I’m no🧸t there!’”

Esparg🙈aro insisted wild-cards were not a key part of his Honda testing deal.

“Actually, it was not in my plans really to race this season. But Hond♊a wanted me to race t♏o test the things properly during a race weekend. And I think it’s the correct thing,” he said.

“But I’m more than good testing and cycling🤡. Being part of the test team, it’s enough for me.”

Espargaro qualified 19th at Jerez, finished 18th in the Sprint, and crossed the line in 14th during Sunday’s Grand Prix - seemingly scoring his first points for Honda - bജefore a tyre pressure penalty dropped him to 17th.

The Spaniard wasn’t the only MotoGP rider to join Honda’s testing program this season, with Takaaki Nakagami switching from full-ti🃏me LCR racer🌠 to a new development role.

Stefan Bradl has also been retained, although the German has ruled ⛄out further wild-cards.

Asked whether Jerez would be his only race of 2025, Esparꩵgaro left the door open for a second appearance - and possibly a third♔.

“Maybe🙈 another one,” he said. “For the moment, it’s Jerez and maybe there’ll be a second one. You never know if it can be number three.

“Also, Taka [Nak🥃agami] wants to race. So I sai𒁏d to Honda, ‘if Taka wants to race, he can race more than me’. 

"It’s about doing our job in the best way possible. If it’s to test so🐷mething new during the weekend, it’s more than welcome, but it’s not in my plans to do a lot of wild-cards.”

The concession rules mean Honda, 🙈like Yamaha, can have a maximum of six wဣild-cards per season.

Of the remaining events, Aragon, Misano and Valencia are favoure💯d wild-card venues du𝓰e to the addition of official post-race tests.

Motegi, Honda’s home event, is also a likely venue for Nakagami to make a wild-card✃.
