It’s a shame, however, that immediately afterwards came the biggest tasteless slip of the year: in an interview with a TV station, here’s Aleix talking about the future: yes, I will stay in this world and be a test driver. With the Aprilia, obviously? No. But how? And all those proclamations about Aprilia being like my family and blah blah blah? Let’s be clear, Espargaró is very free to choose what to do with his future and to chase that little bit of extra money that he is very attracted to, but wait a bit, a few races, a couple of weeks, before saying that his life is it would have led elsewhere, it would have been a gesture of good taste. And do we want to talk about Viñales? He too, saved by Rivola after the dramatic break-up with Yamaha in the summer of 2021, in recent years has proclaimed how Aprilia was the team he had always looked for, how he was happy with it, how he could finally be able to express your best self. Noale supported him in everything, also hiring Manuel Cazeaux (whom he had had in Suzuki) as a track engineer, and really focused on him as the possible champion that Aprilia had been chasing for years. Then, however, already last year while there was a vacancy in Honda, Viñales went to propose himself to HRC, and this year, while the market was waiting to understand what Marc Marquez would do, he went to knock on the door of Ducati and Ktm. And the more Rivola said he was focusing more and more on him for the future, despite a rollercoaster performance with many more lows than highs, the more Maverick uttered cryptic phrases. Then, angry at the hiring of Jorge Martin, a few days later he signed with KTM, a satellite team for an official one. So much for loyalty to the team which is a family.
