If you've grown up with MotoGP, you grew up with Aleix Espargaro. You were there when he filled in for Mika Kallio at Pramac Ducati in 2008. You were there when he joined the team full-time in 2010 and when he was relegated back to Moto2 in 2011.
You were there when he started his non-stop run as a MotoGP rider in 2012. Where he made a name for himself as one of the best riders in the game, developing Suzuki's MotoGP machine into a race winner and giving Aprilia its first win in the premier class. And now you're here on the day he announces his retirement.
