Aleix Espargaró: “So many unknowns, but we will have fun.”

“So many unknowns, but we will have fun.”

With his Aprilia, Aleix Espargaró will resume the World Championship race after finishing fourth, with more than one regret, last year. A team veteran by statistics, “Captain” by unanimous acclamation, Aleix will be able to count both on the perfect symbiosis with a team that has been following him since 2017 and on the experience and maturity built up in more than 200 races in the MotoGP.

“Being with Aprilia for so long loads me with a certain pressure, because I know how important the results are for this company,” said the Catalan. “At the same time, the maturity and the fact that I know well the people I work with make me feel comfortable. The 2023 championship starts out full of unknowns: the new format with the Sprint Race on Saturday will require us drivers to prepare even better, but no one can yet assess the real impact of the change. I have prepared as best I can and, I am sure, we will have fun again this year.”
