At Aprilia it's the commotion of battle. At least we must hope so after the Motegi nightmare which was only an episode of the bad dream that is this season. It was only in Aragon where Noale's men experienced a respite. Enough to drag yourself like this until the end of the ordeal? Apparently not. The manufacturer is in fact announcing for this weekend in Australia a lot of new things to prepare for the 2019 campaign. Phillip Island is however far from Italy!
But that's how it is and the news takes the form of the Suzuki initiative at Motegi. In Japan, Guintoli was indeed present and had the task of roughing up the future GSX-RR. A mission thus explained by the Frenchman: “ in terms of performance, the race was difficult “, declared the Frenchman. “ But we are working for the future and that's my job, that's what I have to do. You have to think long term. We need to store a lot of knowledge and better understand which direction to choose for the future. It's a very important job, because at the end of November there are two months off and when you come back in February for the pre-season tests, everything has to be defined ».
A message apparently received five out of five by Aprilia sinceAlex Espargaro revealed on the eve of the Australian Grand Prix: “ at Phillip Island we will have a lot of new things to try, which will be present on the new bike. We will also need to improve in the areas that limit us. It will be important to collect data as the 2019 season approaches and we absolutely need to take a major step forward ».
It will be recalled that next year, the Spaniard will team up with a Andrea Iannone from which we already expect a lot within the Piaggio group brand.
