The veteran rider has not raced all sꦚeason after suffering a terrible crash on the first Friday session of 2023 at Portimao.

But, finally, Espargaro ca๊n return to the grid at Silverstone. 

“Fit to race,” he posted to social media.

“Can’t wait to jump on my Te🐬ch3 GASGAS and rock it!

“Will need a bit of 💞time🉐 but will put my all on it!

“Thanks Tech3 GASGAS crewꦺ for the patient and love, and I’ll giv✨e it back.

“Also to all the doctors th🗹at have helped me through that injury process, and for sure, to all of you, your sweet messages during the 𝔍past four months gave me wings.

“Let the show begin.”

The awful incident at Portimao, the first Espargaro had ro🌳de his new bike in a MotoGP session, caused a broken jaw plus majo🦹r injuries to his back.

Espargaro is contra๊cted for 2024 and KTM insist they plan to retain all four of their factory and satellite riders for next season despite 🐲Pedro Acosta arriving on the grid as well.

But E💜spargaro’s performances over the second half of the season will eventually come under the microsco🏅pe.

But, for now, he will be a welcome addition to the grid after a terꦿrible period of recovery.
