This weekend the Catalunya MotoGP will take place, and before the on-track action begins, there will be a special press conference with only Aleix Espargaró in the afternoon of this Thursday.
Scheduled for 2:15pm (Portugal Continental time), the content of this press conference is unknown. The rider is currently without a contract for the next season and represents Aprilia.
Approaching 35 years of age, the end of his career is a possibility that he has not ruled out – potentially becoming a test rider for the Noale manufacturer.
Being his home round, announcing his exit from MotoGP at the end of the season would make sense, given the symbolism of the moment. It would also make sense in the case of an announcement of contract renewal.
For now, the content of Espargaró’s press conference remains something that can only be speculated upon. However, what is certain is that it will already be one of the highlights in the lead-up to the Catalunya MotoGP.
