It was not a relaxing Easter weekend for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Aleix Espargaro and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin.

The MotoGP riders took part in the Vuelta Ibiza at the weekend, an e🍌xtremely demanding ꧃three-day mountain bike race.

Espargaro and Martin finished 14th꧑ in their category, only 50 minutes behind the winners Dario Cherchi and Hector Leonardo Paez,💝 who are professional mountain bikers.

They were 18th out of a total of 173 pairs.

Cycling coach Juan Jolobato, and fitness trainer Jorge Echevarria (who also works with Martin in the MotoGP paddock)📖 accompanied the duo for the three days.

The families of the best friends were also on hand to enjoy the Ibiza sunshine while Espargaro and 🦹Martin used their weekend off to push themselves to the physical limit in a different discipline.

Cycling, for Espargaro, is nothing new although he is usually found on road bikes rather🅰 than mountain bikes.

But Espargaro does still have some mountain experi⛄ence - in 2019 he finished fifth in the Cape Epic, a 🙈gruelling South African race.

Espargaro’s experience of cycling meant that he frequently had to encourage and push Martin through the three-da✤y Ibiza event.

They return to MotoGP next week at the Circuit o🌸f the Americas in Texas.

A🧸fter two rou🍸nds of the 2024 season, Pramac Ducati rider Martin is leading the standings.

But he✱ knows th🦩at rival Ducati riders Enea Bastianini and Marc Marquez particularly relish the American circuit.
