Aleix Espargaro Can't Guarantee Career Sustainability After 2024, Pension Indications From MotoGP?

JAKARTA - Aprilia Racing racer Aleix Espargaro admits that he does not guarantee that he can appear in MotoGP after the 2024 season. Espargaro revealed this because he saw his physical condition.

Moreover, his age is no longer young, it will certainly be very influential. As is known, the Spaniard is 33 years old and oldest in MotoGP.

Espargaro will defend Aprilia until 2024. This means that when his contract expires, Espargaro will be 35 years old.

Most likely, the 2024 season will be the last. Moreover, Espargaro did not want to follow in the footsteps of the MotoGP legend, Valentino Rossi, who has just retired at the age of 42.

"Right now I don't see myself in MotoGP after 2024. What Valentino Rossi has done is fantastic (retired at the age of 42)," Espargaro was quoted as saying by Corsedimoto on Thursday, January 19.

"But I don't think I will have the power to do it," Espargaro continued.

Physical abilities are the main consideration for Aleix Espargaro. Moreover, starting next season MotoGP is reportedly set to hold 42 races (including sprint races) from what should have been 21 in one season.

Espargaro made his MotoGP debut in 2019. Over the next three years, he only reached the podium twice.

However, in the 2022 edition, the score has increased significantly. Because he was able to win 1 and 4 podiums.
