Aleix Espargaró

Born in Granollers, Spain, Aleix Espargaró spent two decades racing in the premier class before stepping back from full-time competition after the 2024 season. His breakthrough came with Aprilia, taking the manufacturer's first-ever MotoGP™ victory at the 2022 Argentine Grand Prix from pole — a result that also gave him his first taste of leading the world championship. He now serves as an HRC test rider, helping develop Honda's factory machinery.
