JAKARTA - Aprilia factory racer, Aleix Espargaro expressed his desire to fulfill his Instagram account with one million followers while he was in Indonesia. Regarding his wish, Espargaro vowed if it came true he would throw a helmet on the last day of the Mandalika 2022 MotoGP race.

Espargaro also set a deadline of Sunday, March 20 for netizens, especially Indonesia, to fulfill his one million Instagram followers. Judging by VOI, as of Thursday, March 17th, the racer's followers already numbered 962 thousand.

"Hi Indonesian fans, if I reach 1 million followers before Sunday, after the race I will throw my racing helmet into the stands!" wrote Espargaro in the caption of his latest Instagram photo.

Regarding Espargaro's vow to throw his helmet on the last day of the race, it seems to have been triggered by the experience of the driver when he saw the road situation in Mandalika.

The reason is, before the upload was made, Espargaro had uploaded a photo on his Instagram story. He looked surprised by the motorbike rider who was riding in three people, one of them a baby without a protection and traveling at high speed.

“Three people riding motorbikes, without helmets at a speed of 45 km/h, and carrying babies,” Espargaro wrote in surprise.
