“I'm going𓆉 to co꧟ntinue being at the circuits, it was something very important," Espargaro explained. 

"Before there were things that could escape you, but here they don't escape 🅷you, you see them instantly and you can communicate in a more direct way.&n🥀bsp;

"I take it as a new project, I hope I am qualified to do it, but it will undoubtedly be s൩omething new and difficult. See you under the lights of Q🔜atar."

Espargaro, now 32, won the Moto2 titl🔥e in 2013 before progressing into the premier class.
