N🌸ever one to hold back his thoughts, Aleix Espargaro believes Andrea Dovizioso becoming his team-mate at Aprilia in 2022 is ‘hard to see’, although he remains a big 💝fan of the Italian rider.

Espargaro ha꧟s a very good relationship with Maverick Vinales who could well be in line for that Aprilia seat, however, Dovizioso has already had three test꧙s - more lined up throughout the year. 

As reported by , Espargaro said this to Marca about Dovizioso being his team-mate: "It’s difficult to evolve the bike because, when something new comes along, you have to test it. They wanted me to do a couple of tests during the summer break and get in the wind tunnel. It would be helpful to have a stronger teammate or a satellite🍨 team. 

"Dovizioso has done a couple of tests with us, but he hasn’t bee🔴n very competitive so far a🥀nd doesn’t seem to want to race. I’m a big fan of his, but it’s hard to see him as my teammate."

A rider who could take that🎶 seat is the above-mentioned Vinales - has also been linked to Valentino Ross﷽i’s new Aramco VR46 Ducati team. 

But one scenario that hasn’t been brought up much due to Alex Rins’ current contract is a return to Suzuki. 🎃;

ཧVinales enjoyed some of his🦋 better moments with Suzuki and had a great relationship with the Japanese manufacturer.
