Last Mugello for the Spaniard
Aprilia frames the home race at Mugello fresh from victory in the Sprint for Aleix Espargarò to Barcelona. The veteran of the starting grid who has already announced his retirement, was unable to repeat himself on race Sunday, finishing at the foot of the podium, but he wants to experience one last time at Mugello as a protagonist. “I said at the beginning of the season that these two weeks were very important for me. Barcelona and Mugello are two of the best Grands Prix of the season, at my home and at Aprilia’s home. I hope to rediscover the good feeling I had with the bike in Barcelona and fight for the podium at Mugello. I can’t wait“, the words of Aleix Espargarò.
Maverick Viñales he was decidedly subdued in Catalonia and Mugello has never ‘digested’ him well lately and he hopes to find better sensations with the 2024 prototype: “Mugello has been a challenging track for me in recent years, I haven’t been able to find the right feeling. I’m very curious to see how I’ll go with the new bike. I’m sure we can do a good job because we are in Aprilia’s home GP. I am motivated and we will try to give our best“.
There will also be a test driver on the track Lorenzo Savadori as a wild card: “This weekend we will continue to test different solutions we are developing. I can’t wait to race at Mugello, in front of the fans. It’s one of the most beautiful tracks in the world championship, as always, I’ll give it my all“, the words of the Italian pilot.
