Until retiring at the end of 20🌊21, Rossi held the tag of oldest rider on the grid after competing until the age of 42. However, with the addition of sprint races, season calꦚendars seemingly getting longer every year and the younger talent coming through, Espargaro doesn’t see his MotoGP future lasting beyond the age of 35.

"Right now I don't see myself in MotoGP beyond 2024,"&nbsꦫp;Espargaro told . "What Valentino did [Rossi rode in the premier class until he was 42] is great, but I don't think I'll have the strength to do it. 

"Let's see how I feel then in 2024. However, I think that with the current calendars and the introduction of sprint races, it will 🍃be difficult to ride past the age of 35. 

"This is mainly for mental reasons. For example, the 2023 calendars are crazy, especially the last part of the season. We're going to be spending ꦐa lot of time away from home and when you're under 25, it's anything but easy."

Espargaro is not the first rider to voice concerns at the length of the 2023 MotoGP calenda🔜r, which is set to test riders but also team members in a more demanding way than eve☂r before.

With peak performance a💯nd athlet𝄹ic ability being at an all-time high in MotoGP, Espargaro believes every small detail makes a difference.

The Spanish rider added: "Of ♑course, MotoGP is also very physically demanding, but as a professional you have to ♏be in good shape. 

"Athletics used to not really be relevant in our sport, but now we're physically at an extremely high level and we're all ver𝓰y careful about what we do eat, how we train and how we regenerate."
