Can we randomly attribute the same expression about the new Aprilia, from two of the most experienced figures in the paddock?
Certainly not, and if Hervé Poncharal (see here) and Fausto Gresini agree to say that the Aprilia RS-GP 2016 was born well, it is undoubtedly quite simply that it was born well.
However, this does not prevent the Noale team from making numerous improvements in Argentina, in order to continue the development of this brand new motorcycle.
Roman Albesian: “the Qatar race allowed us, for the first time, to collect a lot of information on the performance of the motorcycle in the race. We are heading to Argentina with developments in different areas, from gearbox strategies to engine tuning, torque management and engine braking. We hope to take a step forward in terms of performance, after the encouraging results that Alvaro Bautista achieved in the first race. We hope that Stefan can complete his adaptation to the new tires and the new bike. »
During the Qatar Grand Prix, if Stefan Bradl crashed after 11 laps, Alvaro Bautista finished in 13th position, certainly 41 seconds behind Jorge Lorenzo, but ahead of the Hondas of Jack Miller and Tito Rabat, and two tenths behind the Ducati by Eugene Laverty.
