Espargaro announced last🅠 weekend, at home at th𒉰e Catalunya MotoGP, that he will retire at the conclusion of this season.

“F𓆉or sure, it’s a good team and a good bike,” he saiꦅd.

“But it’s not fair. Jorge des💫erves the ride of his dreams, which is the factory Ducati.

“If he cannot have it, for me, it would be super un🌊fair.”

He added: “To see Jorge win a title ﷽or ꧟win races with the #41 bike? It’s like if I win. The same feeling.”

Espargaro’s own future is up for debate.

Although he will retire from🐓 racing, there is now a chase to secure his valuable service as a test rider.

“I don’t wa𒊎nt to speak about the future,” he said.

“But I don’t think I will stay in Aprilia.”
