Aleix Espargaro back on track with Honda HRC Test Team
Honda HRC were back to full strength as Aleix Espargaro made it five Honda RC213V machines on the grid at the Catalan GP. With the support of his home fans behind him, Espargaro set a best time of 1’39.157 to end the day in 20th and ahead of Bagnaia. The #41 is continuing to assess a number of items he and the Test Team have been working on during private tests.

“I am really happy to be back on track; I’ve been able to recover from the injuries I had in Hungary. I am not 100%, the ribs are giving me some trouble when I am moving on the bike but even like this, we are quite close to the other Honda riders, and I am satisfied with the opening day. There is a lot of work to do, so I am really happy to be here and helping. Some items to work on tomorrow before we switch into race mode with Q1 and the Sprint.”
