Pol Espargaro will have an additional r💙♉ole as a TV broadcaster this year.

He will become part of the presentation team for Spanish TV chann♕el DAZN's coverage of MotoGP.

Espargaro is joining a line-up which already includesও Dani Pedrosa and Jorge Lorenzo.

Espargaro has spent the past 10 years as a full-time MotoGP rider but, this season, has lost his Tech3 𓆏GASGAS seat to Pedro Acosta.

He will reꦿmain as a test and reserve rider for KTM and Tech3 GASGAS but will now have an additional role to fulfil inside the ﷽paddock.

“I'm going to con𝓰tinue being at the circuit🐓s, it was something very important," Espargaro explained. 

"Before there were things that could escape you, but here they don't esc♐ape you, you see them instantly and you can communicate in a more direct way. 

"๊I take it as a new project, I hope I am qualified to do it, but it will undoubtedly be something new and difficult. See you under the lights o🐈f Qatar."

Espargaro, now ✨32, won the Moto2 title in 2013 before progressing into the premier class.

He repr𒅌esented Yamaha, Honda and K♔TM in two stints.

But the emergenceও of the brilliant teenager Acosta resulted in KTM selecting Espargaro as the rider who would miss out on a full-time race seat.
