Will the two post-Misano test days have resolved the RS-GP's problems? We are already working towards 2019.
MotorLand Aragon was built near the path leading to Santiago de Compostela, the route of pilgrims who, in the Middle Ages, sought salvation.

There is, however, hope that the two days of testing carried out after the Misano race will be a solution for the end of the season and a good basis for development in 2019.
“Last year I was very competitive in Aragon” told Aleix Espargaro. “It will not be easy to repeat this performance, because the level of the Championship has increased enormously.
