April 25, 2024
Qthese are the words of Aleix Espargaro on Thursday in Jerez, Spanish GP.
On the situation in Aprilia…
“Inside the Aprilia garage you can feel the best atmosphere in the paddock; maybe we don’t have the fastest bike, but we’re very close now, we certainly have fantastic relationships within the team. It was like this before Vinales’ victory in Texas and it is even more so now”
On Vinales…
“I’m very happy for him, he’s back to success after a long time. Portimao and Austin are certainly two of the worst tracks for me, there are no excuses here, I know the track well and the RS-GP works well here. Maverick will also be fast here, but we have only done three GPs: he is certainly one of the contenders for important results”
On the issue of introducing a maximum number of motorbikes for each manufacturer…
“A maximum of bikes for each manufacturer? I totally agree. Ducati has done an incredible job, but it’s a huge advantage to have eight bikes with which to collect data”
About tire pressure…
“Last year was the first year, it was complicated for the engineers to manage this aspect; in 2023 the temperatures here were very high, I hope they will be lower this year; the regulation has changed a bit. For all this I hope it is easier to manage this aspect in Jerez”
