The Spaniard, who is now going into his eighth season with Aprilia, says he’s ‘proud’ of 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 Ap𝓀rilia.

“Our journey 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 2024, Espargaro is one of many factory ♛riders set to be out of contract after this season.

But if he remains fast and competi🌠tive 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 fast and fight for victories at the sta🧔rt of the𝓰 season.”

While Espargaro was in the mix during the Sepang test, team-mate M👍averick Vinales struggled to dem🉐onstrate the same pace.

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

Espargaro did not have th𒐪ose problems and was unable to explain why Vinales found the b🤡ike difficult to ride.

Espargaro added: “It’s a difficult question for me. I liked the bike from th෴e first few laps of the test. 

“It’s true that it’s quite diffeꦐrent aerodyn♎amically and you have to ride the bike differently.

“The way you put the 🌌bike in the corners is ꦗdifferent. But it goes towards my riding style. For me, it is fine.”
