Aleix Espargaró, currently 35 years old, stands as the oldest and most experienced rider in the MotoGP lineup. He’s in the final season of his contract with Aprilia, and the future seems uncertain… but it’s almost decided.

Despite his age, the Spanish rider has been experiencing his prime. He has flourished with the Noale manufacturer, securing his first victories in the premier class in 2022 and 2023, positioning himself as a solid contender for top positions. However, this year he appears to be somewhat behind his teammate, Maverick Viñales.

Espargaró’s bond with Aprilia is strong and unquestionable, seeming always to be the priority should he wish to continue competing. However, he has also admitted to being interested in remaining as a test rider – a role becoming increasingly crucial in MotoGP and one he would adapt well to after being a fundamental part of the RS-GP development since his arrival in 2017.

Therefore, the #41 could follow in the footsteps of his brother, Pol, and transition to a test rider role at the end of the season. Especially considering he now has a family, including two children, which would imply less pressure and less time away from home due to the increasingly intense racing calendar.

On Aprilia’s side, there may be interest in retaining Espargaró… or pursuing separate paths. Several high-level riders are still without contracts for 2025, such as Enea Bastianini, Jorge Martín, or Marc Márquez – and, as known, these are three riders with aspirations to be in factory teams, with only one potentially staying at Ducati.

Although the season is still in its early stages, decision time is nearing. According to international press reports, it is expected that Espargaró and Aprilia will have a conversation about the future on the sidelines of the Italian Grand Prix from May 31 to June 2.

At the moment, Espargaró sits eighth in the championship. About a month ago, he admitted that he wanted to wait until Mugello to assess his performance and made it clear that if he couldn’t fight for the top five, this year would be his last season. At the time, he had not made any decisions yet, only ‘trying to understand’ what would be the best option.

The Spaniard was also questioned at that time about the possibility of becoming a test rider, considering it could be ‘a good opportunity’ for him, which he seriously considers.
