Impromptu press conference‘
The weekend in Barcelona for MotoGP is starting to get busy immediately. His eyes are all on one of the many home riders in this Catalan GP, Aleix Espargarò. The centaur from Granollers, who will turn 35 on July 30th, has in fact called a special press conference at 3.15 pm. The official reasons for the meeting with the press are unknown, but knowing that the #41’s contract with Aprilia expires at the end of this season it is easy to hypothesize that today could be the opportunity to announce his retirement from racing .
Withdrawal in the air
Recently Massimo Rivola, CEO of Aprilia, had declared that a decision on Espargarò’s future would be made by both parties at Mugello. It is plausible to imagine that the timing could have been brought forward by a week. Already last year the Spaniard, who achieved what is currently his last career victory in Barcelona, had repeatedly floated the idea of stopping.
Bastianini favorite
If Espargarò’s decision really is to hang up his helmet – perhaps to continue with a commitment as a test rider – the race for his saddle, which is already active under the radar, would officially open. The favorite seems to be Enea Bastianini, looking for a plan B – as also explained by his manager Carlo Pernat – should the door of the official Ducati close for him in the three-way challenge which currently sees him in contention with Jorge Martin and Marc Marquez .
