Showing Off White Rice Delivered From Team Suzuki, Aleix Espargaro: Rivalry Only On Tracks

JAKARTA - Aprilia factory racer, Aleix Espargaro, shared his moment of receiving lunch from the Suzuki team. It was then welcomed by Espargaro and stated that rivalry would only happen on the track.

The Mandalika 2022 MotoGP has completed the first practice session on Friday, March 18, starting at 09.50 WIB. In that session, Aleix did not record the fastest time.

The first place was won by his younger brother, Pol Espargaro with a time of one minute 33,499 seconds.

With the available time lag, the MotoGP riders also took advantage of it for lunch, including Aleix Espargaro.

Through his Instastory upload, he was seen sharing the lunch menu sent by the Suzuki team. Interestingly, he only showed white rice without any side dishes.

But it turned out not to be a problem for Espargaro. Instead, he was grateful to receive lunch from the Suzuki team.

"Rivals on the track, but friends outside. Arigato (thank you) for the rice," wrote Espargaro while pinning Suzuki and Aprilia accounts.

Aleix Espargaro himself recorded quite good results in the first free practice session of the Mandalika MotoGP. He finished sixth with a time of 1 minute 34.2520 seconds, 0.753 seconds adrift of the fastest rider.
