Pol Espargaró takes part in his first wildcard entry this weekend at the Italian GP since becoming a test rider for Red Bull KTM in MotoGP – something that has become common for the Austrian manufacturer.
Following Dani Pedrosa at the Spanish GP, Espargaró is the wildcard entry at Mugello – with both Grands Prix preceding an official test day on Monday.
Could this wildcard entry be repeated for Espargaró later this year? KTM has that option according to the regulations, but the rider clarified that nothing is defined yet:
– At the moment is one and we see the future, how the bike is going and if the manufacturer is having troubles in another places or wants to test a little bit more with this bike or future ones, we will see.
