It was not a relaxing Easter weekend for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin.

The MotoGP riders took part in the ꦡ;Vuelta Ibiza at the weekend, an extremely demanding three-day mountaꦰin bike race.

Espargaro and Martin finished 14th in their category, only 50 minutes behind th🌜e winners Dario Cherchi 🌌and Hector Leonardo Paez, who are professional mountain bikers.

They were 18th out of a total of 173 pairs.

Cycling coach Juan Jolobato, and fitness trainer Jorge Echevarria (who also works with Martin in the MotoGP paddock) accompanied💮 the duo for the three days.

The families of the best friends were also on hand to enjoy the Ibiza sunshine while Espargaro and Martin used their weekend off to push themselves to the physical limit in 💛a different discipline.

Cycling, for Espargaro, is nothing new although he is usually found on road bikes rather than m🔴ountain bikes.

But Espargaro does still have some mountain experience - in 2019 he f🃏inished fifth in the Cape Epic, a gruelling South African race.

Espargaro’s𒆙 experience of cycling meant that he frequently had to encourage and push Martin through t꧟he three-day Ibiza event.

They return to MotoGP next week at the Circuit of the Americas in T🌟exas.

After two rounds of the 2024 season, Pramac Ducati rider ⛎Martin is leading the standings.

But he knows that rival Ducati riders Enea Bastianini and Marc Marquezไ particu🔴larly relish the American circuit.
