The Noale team, at the center of transfer rumors on the eve of the last weekend, did not go beyondeighth position Of Maverick Viñalesstuck at the back after a bad start: “The medium rear tire was the best choice I could have made – commented – in fact, halfway through the race, I kept a good pace, but it wasn’t enough. I tried to close the gap with the rider in front of me, but I couldn’t overtake him and the tires overheated. However, we have collected important data in view of the test.”
Race to forget even for Aleix Espargaròstarted from ninth position but 11th at the finish line due to difficulties encountered especially with the grip: “A very physical race – he added – as soon as I started to lose grip, lhe moved a lot on the motorbike. As I already said, it is not a track that is conducive to my driving style and I suffer a lot when changing direction quickly. Let’s look ahead and think about the test, we will work to catch up with the others.”
Rivola’s comment
The test driver was also present at Mugello as a wild card Lorenzo Savadoriat his second GP of the season, which tested the new components brought by Aprilia, but only 21st under the checkered flag. A general outcome, therefore, which is not satisfactory Massimo RivolaCEO of Aprilia: “Home Amaro Grand Prix. Starting from the front row, we expected more, we certainly have to work to have better management of the race. The positive note is that we have collected important data in preparation for the test. We will focus on testing the innovations brought forward by Lorenzo and on making the bike grow as much as possible.”
