Pol Espargaro lands unexpected new job inside the MotoGP paddock
Pol♈ Espargaro will remain a KTM test and reserve rider but has a new job too

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.
Instead, he can now have one eye on the future with a new gig i🥃n the TV w🌟orld.
