ESPARGARO
Birthplace : Granollers DOB : 1991-06-10
Height : 171 cm Weight : 63 kg
The younger Espargaro brother shot to prominence with a 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 in 2013 . A seat in MotoGP™ with Tech 3 Yamaha was just reward . But a decision to move to KTM in 2017 bore fruit . Espargaro had turned the RC16 into a regular top ten challenger by 2019 . It got better : the Catalan scored five podiums and two pole positions to finish fifth overall in 2020 . He moved to Repsol Honda in 2021 and despite a tough start , he found his feet in the final third on the season , when he scored a podium in Emilia Romagna . A much-improved Honda should see him bag more podiums in 2022 .
