A🦂 dream move for the Spaniard at the time of his MotoGP switch ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚfrom the factory KTM team, Espargaro’s time at Honda has been dominated by difficult moments. 

Pole position at Silverstone in 2💞021 and a podium at the 2022 season-opener at Qatar were highlights of his time with Repsol Honda, however, Espargaro has found it tough to put consistent performances together throughout his two seasons with the team. 

"It is going to beඣ an emotional weekend, my last one with the Repsol Honda Team,” said Espargaro. “I want to thank everyone inside HRC, Repsol and the team for these two years. 

"Together we have lived through some incredible moments and fought to overcome the hard times. Valencia is a circuit I really enjoy, we didn’t have any luck there last year but I want to say goodb🍃ye to everyone with a strong weekend. 

"Let’😼s just enjoy this last race and focus on the positives that we achieved together.ꦗ Thanks everyone."

A track that doesn't rely on top speed and one where the rider can make more of a difference, add to that Marquez’s impressive record in Valencia which consists of six podium🦄s in seven premier class appearances🤪, and the eight-time world champion could find himself in the battle for victory once again. 

Marquez said: "Th𝐆e last race in a long and very different kind of year. We’ve been learning every weekend since we came back and that’s the objective again for th𓂃is race. 

"I think Valencia will suit our bike bette🦄r than in Sepang, so hopefully we can be closer to the front. It’s a track where I have had good results here in the past and you get some close races because of the layout.
