Carlo Pernat is now a columnist and a manager but he was also the linchpin of Aprilia Racing in the last century. A brand that remains dear to his heart, which means that after so many disappointments experienced while watching the evolution of the RS-GP project, he appears reinvigorated and involved in his positions with this year's improvement, coming from the latest addition to the Noale factories. The Italian confides in Mowmag on the coat of arms which is at a turning point in its project. Dovizioso and VR46 colors are designated targets.
At Aprilia, we are well aware that the coming months will be decisive for the involvement in MotoGP through the project RS GP. The big boss of the competition Massimo rivola don't hide it. We need to set up a truly factory team, see if we can keep Gresini as a satellite, and expand the workforce, with, for example, an experienced and always fast Andrea Dovizioso.
Projects and perspectives that please Carlo Pernat, who was for a time in charge within the brand. For Italian, see Dovizioso starting to get involved in the development of RS-GP is a blessing: “ I would like Andrea to help them he says. " Not only to prepare the bike he will eventually ride in 2022, but also this year through tests and wildcards, since he could even do six. If he helps them, they could have podiums ».
Carlo Pernat sees synergy between Aprilia and VR46
Feathered sees a Aprilia much stronger with the signing of the former Ducati rider, who will carry out a second test on the RS-GP in May after that of Jerez. This will happen at Mugello and this will probably be decisive in defining or not a contractual agreement between the parties.
The Genoese manager also spoke about what will be Aprilia in 2022 at team level, a season where the manufacturer should line up an official structure: “ it will have an official team and Gresini should not be a satellite team with them. They could open a discussion, which may have already started, with VR46. Important marketing scenarios can be opened. If you were the Piaggio group, wouldn't you think about the possibility of using the VR46 brand? ". A question that only said group can answer.
