168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro says he ‘couldn’t be happier’ that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin will take over his Aprilia seat for MotoGP 2025.

Although Espargaro is switching to Honda test riding duties after retiring at the end of this season, he took a personal interest in securing good friend Martin’s signature at Aprilia🀅.

“I couldn’t be happier. My best friend 🙈and the leader of the championship will be riding my bike next year,” Espargaro said.

“He had some doubts. He had ano𝕴ther very good option on the tablꦗe. He came to my motorhome. After the [Mugello] race we spent 5 hours talking. He asked many things technically.

“Then obviously he was quite disappointed with Ducati, so he was very interest🌃ed on the human side, ho🔜w is the team. He saw how happy I am, how much I enjoy these years with Aprilia. So it was quite easy to convince him.

“On t⛄he Monday morning [after Mugello], I said to Massimo [Rivola] ‘prepare the contract, he’s convinced’. Everybody was very happy in Aprilia.”

But having spent his entire MotoGP career on a Ducati at P🐓ramac, what will Martin need to adapt to most on🀅 the RS-GP?

“He [will have] a very, very strong bike,” Espargaro said. “It’s different from the Ducati. At Ducati, they ride a lot with the throttle. With the Aprilia, you can push a lot with the front ജbrake.

“Jorge is a rider who loves to ride with the front brake. They have some locking problems with the Ducati on the b𒉰🍸rakes so also this will be easier on the Aprilia.

“Maybe on the engine side he will struggle a bit more because the Aprilia is not as strong. But when you’re talented, it’s a bike: An ꦜengine, two whee✃ls and full gas!”

Espargaro is adamant that Apr🔯ilia couldn't have done better than Martin.

“Number 1. He’s the best one꧋! I mean, who else can you take?" Espargaro said🧔.

"He’s le🎐ading the championship. He’s angry at his manufacturer at how they treat him. He’s super hungry to win w💙ith a new brand. He’s young, a good guy. He’s learning from the best, like me! [laughs]

“I ꧙think Aprilia has been lucky and Jorge ꦐhas been lucky to find each other.”

Espargaro also believ🅺es the rider-manufacturer reshuffle will make t🐻he championship more balanced.

“I think it’s going to 𒉰be very inte𝓰resting,” he said.

“Ducati, w🌳ith the strategy they take [picking Marc Marquez but losing Jorge Martin, Enea Bastianini and Marco Bezzecchi], which ꦿI respect, they helped a lot the other manufacturers.

“KTM is goin𝐆g to be super strong. Aprilia is going to be strong. With really motivated riders in both KTM and in Aprilia. [Ducati are going] to lose two bikes.

“We’re going to balance the championship.”

Espargaro's team-ꦗmate Maverꦿick Vinales is also leaving Aprilia, for Tech3 KTM next season.

Martin starts this weekend’s German MotoGP with a ten-poin𝄹t lead over Ducati’s reigning world champion Francesco Bagnaia.
