The veteran rider has not raced all season after suffering a terrible crash on the first Friday🥀 session of 2023 a♏t Portimao.

𝄹But, finally, Espargaro ca🧸n return to the grid at Silverstone. 

“Fit to race,” he posted to social media.

“Can’t wait to jump on my Tech3🦂 GASG🧸AS and rock it!

“Will need a bit 🌺of time𓆉 but will put my all on it!

“Thanks Tech3 GASGAS crew for the patient and love, and I’ll give i꧋t back.

“Also to all the doctors that have helped me th൩rough that in♉jury process, and for sure, to all of you, your sweet messages during the past four months gave me wings.

“Let the show begin.”

Tꦐhe awful incident at Portimao, the first Espargaro had rode his new bike in a MotoGP session, caused a broken jaw plus major injuries to his back.

Espargaro is contracted for 2024 and KTM insist they plan🐷 to retain all four of their factory and satellite riders for next season despite Pedro Acosta arriving on the grid as well.

But E🍰spargaro’s performances over th꧙e second half of the season will eventually come under the microscope.

But, for now, he will be a welc🌄ome addition to the grid after a terrible period of recovery.
