The elder of the two Espargaro brothers skipped quickly from 125cc in 2005 to the 250cc class midway through 2006 until he found himself without a ride three years later . But a substitute ride in 2009 , when he replaced the injured Mika Kallio at Pramac Ducati , really put this Catalan on the map . His four showings earned him a full-time call up for a full MotoGP campaign the following year . From there Espargaro not only won two CRT class titles in 2012 and 2013 and claimed his sole MotoGP podium at Aragon 2014 , but he forged a reputation for a fully committed rider and notable bike developer . His feats with in bringing Suzuki – returning to the class after a three-year absence – up to speed in 2015 shouldn ’ t be forgotten . Nor should his performances for Aprilia in 2017 , when he scored two brilliant top six finishes . It has been three tough years since then , but Espargaro has been rejuvenated in 2021 . He led the race at the Sachsenring , has been a figure in the lead group on many occasions , and took the factory ’ s first podium since 2000 at Silverstone . Still there is more to come .
