Honda have officially signed 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Aleix Espargaro as its MotoGP test rider for the 2025 season.

Espargaro decided to hang up his boots full-time p𒐪rior to his home grand prix in Barcelona, which then led to rumours he could seek a test rider role.

Honda acted swiftly as it became clear that t🧸👍he two parties were close to an agreement.

That agreement has now become official as Espargaro will lead Hond🧔a’s test program alongside Stefan Bradl.

Honda are going through their worst period in MotoGP history, therefore signing someone of Espargaro’s talent and experience could🦩 be invaluable.

Espargaro fractured the fifth met🐭acarpal in his right hand during the accident, but the Spaniard will undergo magnetotherapy in a bid to speed up the recovery process and be fit for this weekend’s German grand prix at Sachsenring.

Confirming Espargaro as their new test rider alongside Bradl and not instead of the German, Honda’s statement said: “Honda Racing Corporation will bolster their testing program with the addition of Aleix Espargaro as a Tes♏t Rider in 2025.

“He will join HRC stalwart Stefan Bradl in continuing the developme💖nt ꧅of the Honda RC213V.”
