Aleix Espargaró is a question mark at this moment. His future is not defined and with the dates to announce his future getting closer, he will have to make a decision by the Mugello GP.
The decision of the Spanish rider could have a great influence on the rider market for the next season. For now, Aprilia Racing remains calm and patient for Aleix’s decision to arrive.
The CEO of Aprilia, Massimo Rivola, in statements to Sky, spoke about this issue, but remained very calm regarding Espargaró’s decision or Aprilia’s.
– I have a great affection for Aleix Espargaró for everything he has brought to the team. We will make a decision in Mugello. He is still in good form and age is just experience, but if Aleix decides to leave, we will go to the market and look for alternatives. An Italian name would be interesting, there is no specific profile, but for sure they must be dedicated to the cause.
In addition to the CEO of Aprilia, Aleix also made statements about his future, outlining a date until the Mugello GP: ‘I will decide in these four races, which are legendary circuits, very important, Jerez, Le Mans, Mugello, and Barcelona. I am not in a hurry and neither is Aprilia, I know they will be among the last to decide. So we will be calm and enjoy these races, they are among the best on the calendar. The results, in the end, are what give us the strength to make a decision’.
