168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Aleix Espargaro will return to the MotoGP grid for a seco🦄nd Honda wild-card appearance aꦆt the upcoming British Grand Prix.

The 34-year-old former Aprilia race-winner made his first race appearance for Honda during the recent Spanish round, where he looked to have secured 14th - and what would have been his fir๊st Honda points - before being penalised for low tyre pressure.

Espargaro’s prototype RC213V was handed to Joan Mir for the post-race test, with fellow ꦯex-racer turned test rider Takaaki Nakagami then making his wild-card debut for HRC at Le Mans this weekend.

Honda has confirmed that Espargaro will make it three HRC wild-cards in a row with an appearance at the following Silverstone round, where he took his first Aprilia podium in 2021 and ♏won in 2023.

Espargaro retired from full-time competition at the end of last yea🙈r and immediately switched to Honda testi⛎ng duties.

Feelgood factor around Honda

Honda remarkably won the mos꧑t recent grand prix, through LCR satellite rider Johann Zarco in France.

It was a result which proved Honda's development has taken a major step forward in 2025, since the arrival of test rider Espargaro and technical 🙈director Romano Albesiano.

It was the fiꦰrst non-Ducati grand prix victory since a year ago when Aprilia's Maverick Vinales won in Texas.

It was Honda's first win since Alex R༺iꦐns, also at COTA, for the LCR team.

Importantly for Honda, it prevented ಌD▨ucati from claiming the all-time record for consecutive grand prix wins.

Ducati and Honda now share that ✤record with 22 apiece.
