ESPARGARO
DOB : 1991-06-10 Birthplace : GRANOLLERS Height : 171 CM Weight : 63 KG
The younger Espargaro brother shot to prominence with an eye-catching sixth place in just his seventh race in the 125 class in 2006 . After four seasons in the junior category , he graduated to Moto2™ in 2011 , and won the class outright in 2013 after a tense , year-long fight with Scott Redding . A seat in MotoGP™ with Tech 3 Yamaha was just reward for his intermediate class efforts and he showed early promise by winning the MotoGP™ Rookie of the Year in 2014 . But a decision to move to KTM ’ s exciting new project and develop its ever-improving RC16 bore fruit . He scored four top tens in 2017 and while 2018 was beset by injury , Espargaro had turned the RC16 into a regular top ten challenger by the autumn of 2019 . It got better : the Catalan scored five podiums and two pole positions to finish fifth overall in 2020 . But could move to Repsol Honda lead to his first premier class victory ? Espargaro certainly thinks so .
