Honda has decided to bring Aleix Espargaró back for the MotoGP weekend in Indonesia, at Mandalika. The Spaniard, who works as a test rider for the Japanese manufacturer, will join the squad at a difficult moment for the winged-crest brand.

The move is meant to strengthen the factory team at a stage when the lineup cannot rely on all of its riders at full fitness. For Espargaró, it is a significant return, with an immediate role on a track that often rewards experience and precision.
