Pol Espargarò makes a confession about Marc Marquez

During an interview given to the microphones of “Mundo Deportivo”, the KTM test rider Pol Espargarò, a few days from the official start of the new MotoGp season, he è expressed himself in no uncertain terms about the rainbow fight.

“I root a little bit for my team, my heart tells me Pedro Acosta, but Marc Marquez has staked a lot on this moment. He has worked and suffered for many years to get to this 2025. By a divine mandate I would tell you that I would almost like to see him win. Given the enormous sacrifices he has made I would be very happy if he could win the world title” began the’former Spanish centaur.

“The pre-season è has been spectacular. Seeing the spectacle we will have this year, we believe that Marc Marquez and Ducati will be at a very high level as we expected, but only the first race weekend will allow us to see what their real level is. There are many interesting rookies, the Aprilia with Jorge Martin and Acosta, who has made huge strides with KTM. The same goes for Binder, Bastianini and Viñales” added Pol Espargarò.

Ahead of the first race of the season in Thailand, Marc Marquez will have to watch his back against one less opponent, as reigning champion Jorge Martin will not be able to make his debut with the Aprilia due to a complex fracture of the radius, some carpal bones and an ipsilateral calcaneal fracture of the left hand suffered during a training session, which will force him to undergo surgery.

Joshua Zirkzee, season over: first year at United to forget

Published

joshua-zirkzee,-season-over:-first-year-at-united-to-forget

Joshua Zirkzee’s first season in a Manchester United shirt is ending in the worst way. The Dutch striker, who arrived from Bologna last summer for more than 40 million euros, suffered a serious hamstring injury in his left knee during the last Premier League match against Newcastle. Confirming the news was coach Ruben Amorim himself in his pre-Europa League press conference, “Zirkzee will not be available for the rest of the season. He has to think about recovery and preparing for next year.”

A real mockery for the talented youngster, who was experiencing a positive moment in terms of personal growth, despite an overall complicated season for the Red Devils. Zirkzee thus ends his first year at Old Trafford with 7 goals and 3 assists in 48 total appearances, a haul perhaps lower than expected, but still indicative of a player who was finding space and confidence.

Manchester United’s season, punctuated by injuries and fluctuating performances, might only find a small light in the eventual Europa League victory. But the loss of Zirkzee at this crucial moment represents yet another tile on an already very complicated year for Amorim.

Ahead of the summer, the former Bologna man’s future remains to be written. The English club is already planning to intervene in the market again to reinforce the offensive department. And while it seems difficult to think of an immediate transfer of Zirkzee after only one year, it is not excluded that one between him and Højlund could leave Old Trafford. The return to the field, in any case, will not come until next season.
