Espargaro recovers to 17th in British GP Sprint
Another day of hard work for the Honda HRC Test Team as Aleix Espargaro continued to work through the extensive testing plan. Starting 21st, the #41 ran on early in the Sprint but got his head down to lap with strong pace and finish the 10-lap race in 17th place after an intense battle with several of the Aprilia riders.

“Today we kept working on a few items for Honda and we were able to do what we needed. Our objective is to find things to helps the factory riders and we are getting there. At the start of the Sprint, I went wide early and lost a lot, a lot of time but once we got back onto track our rhythm was good which is positive for tomorrow. It’s a shame we couldn’t get more out of Qualifying, but the Test Team and I are improving with each lap. More tomorrow, let’s enjoy!”
