168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro is the oldest rider in MotoGP, but that hasn’t stopped the Aprilia man from being thꦕe factory team’s best performer over the last few seasons.

Espargaro was thꦚe best non-Ducati rider at the Sepang MotoGP test as he finished fifth fastest.

The Spaniard, who is now going into his eig꧃hth season with Aprilia, says he’s ‘proud’ o♔f the work done by the Noale-based manufacturer.

“It has been a long journey,” Espargaro told MotoGP.com. “I’m really proud⛦ to be here and to be in my eighth seasonwith Aprilia.

“Our jourꦗney has not been easy. We have come from very far away and it’s a privilege to be 🐷an Aprilia rider.”

In terms of his 🧸future beyond 2😼024, Espargaro is one of many factory riders set to be out of contract after this season.

But if he re🅘mains fast and competitive in 2024, Espargaro expects to continue with Aprilia.

“The🐼 plan is to go as fast as possible,” said the three-time MotoGP race winner. “The races will decide for me if I’m still fast, if I’m still number one rider in Aprilia as I have been in the previous seven seasons. It’s in my hands.

“It depends how fast I am. Hopefully we can start fas✨t and fight fo🦩r victories at the start of the season.”

While Espargaro was in the mix during the Sepang test, team-mate Ma𒀰verick Vinale♈s struggled to demonstrate the same pace.

Struggling with the new RS-GP24-spec bike, and in particular its new aero package, Vinales 𝓡was unable to perform at the level expected.

Esparga꧟ro did not have those probl🥂ems and was unable to explain why Vinales found the bike difficult to ride.

Espargaro added: “It’s a difficult questi🉐on for me. I liked tඣhe bike from the first few laps of the test. 

“It’s true that it’s quite different aerodynamically and 🎀you have to ride the bike differently.

“The way yo🌄u put the bike 🥃in the corners is different. But it goes towards my riding style. For me, it is fine.”
