MotoGP: Here's Martin with the No. 1! Jorge and Aleix battled it out at Rocco's Ranch.

Fatigue from the very long season faced has not been felt on the parts of Jorge Martin and Aleix Espargaro who, of already, are back in the saddle. The MotoGP world champion and the new rider for LidlTrek, went to Rocco's Ranch near Barcelona to take part in the TT Christmas, a dirt track event that has now become a tradition at Christmas time.

The world MotoGP championship winner, who, for the occasion, raced with the number 1, abandoning his usual 89, a possible clue to what could be his choice ahead of the 2025 championship, on Instagram, thanked his colleague for agreeing to share with him precisely the number 1, calling this all drift challenge "the last of the year."

For his part, however, the former driver and future Honda HRC test driver confided in his fans about the emotions he felt, also revealing to whom the funds raised during the event will be directed. "The TT Christmas 2024 was fantastic. I had fun racing with my little brother surrounded by friends. Raising 20 thousand euros to help Valencia could only happen here," his words.

There was no shortage of regular race names at the start either, from Fermin Aldeguer, to Carlos Checa, and ending with a sacred monster like Randy Mamola.

All proceeds were donated to the Aspar team, which is acting as a liaison with the city hit by flooding last October. To date, the total amount raised has touched 150,000 euros.
