ALEIX ESPARGARO

Granollers ( SPA ) - 30 / 7 / 1989
Last year ’ s undoubted surprise package , Aleix hit new heights in 2022 . Despite falling short in the year ’ s final two races , the Spanish veteran was contesting a championship for the first time after a career of mixed fortune . Before , he had some success , winning the CRT class titles in 2012 and 2013 , as well as developing Suzuki ’ s GSX-RR into a competitive package in 2015 and 2016 . But Aprilia is where he found his home . After initial progress in 2017 with the Noale factory , Espargaro endured tough years in each of the following four seasons . But last year ’ s victory in Argentina showed he has what it takes to fight at the front .
