168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro expected to ride his final lap as a full-time MotoGP rider at Valencia on November 17.

But th📖e rescheduled season finale, following the disastrous Valencia♑ flooding, means Espargaro will instead bid farewell to MotoGP at his local Barcelona circuit.

Espargaro’s thoughts are still very much with the Valencia region.&nbಌsp;

But in pure performan🙈ce terms, he also has slightly mixed feelings about a return to Barcelona after such an ’amazing’ weekend in May.

The 35-year-old announced his retirement plans in an emotional pre-event press conference before putting his Aprilia on top of the Friday timesheets, then on pole position for qua𒐪lifying.

Espargaro celebrated a dream Sprint victory, his only win of the season so far, before waving ‘goodbye’ to his home fans with fourth - as top 🤡non-Ducati - in the grand prix.

Cat⭕alunya remains E⛄spargaro’s best weekend of the year, while the RS-GP has been absent from the top three since his Sprint podium in Austria (round 11 of 20).

But with Espargaro a winner in May, and the RS-GP finishing one-two at Catalunya the year before, c🐷an Espargaro end his full-time career on 🅺a high?

“Hopefully!” Espargaro said before ꧑leaving Sepang 😼in Malaysia.

“I’m a littl♎e bit worried because the last time we went there was an amazing weekend. I could not really dream of better.

"But I’m positive. Hopefully, it is a good one.

“It’s not going to be that hot and that’s where the Apriꦯlia suffers the most! For sure we will have better feelings and I hope to do a good race.

ꦬ“It will be special, my last with 🐓Aprilia, with my family and friends very close to home.

"That’s the 𝐆only, small, positive thing [about the change of venue].”

Espargaro has pledged to donate prize money from the weekend in aid of Val♏enciaꩵ.

MotoGP is also due to announce special initiatives for an eve🌺nt officially titled as the ‘Motul Solidarity Grand Prix of Barcelona’.

♏Espargaro will then start a new chapter as a HRC test and wild-card rider after the season finale.

Team-mate Maverick Vinales will also be riding in his last𒀰 grand pr✨ix for Aprilia, before switching to Tech3 KTM.
