Aleix Espargaro to continue Honda development with Silverstone MotoGP wild-card.
Aleix Espargaro will make his second Honda wild-card appearance at the upcoming British Grand Prix after riding for Honda in the recent Spanish round.
He was penalised for low tyre pressure in his first race appearance for Honda, where he seemed to secure 14th place.
Honda has confirmed that Espargaro will have an HRC wild-card appearance at the Silverstone round, the scene of his first Aprilia podium in 2021 and victory in 2023.
Honda’s recent success in MotoGP, including LCR rider Johann Zarco’s victory in France, has been attributed to the development work of Espargaro and technical director Romano Albesiano.
Honda’s win in France prevented Ducati from achieving the all-time record for consecutive grand prix wins, now sharing the record with 22 wins each.
