No drivers or team members Aprilia did not point a finger Aleix I will espargaro after the mistake at the Catalan Grand Prix. This would have been ungrateful towards an athlete who marks the exploits of a manufacturer and a team which had experienced difficult times in previous years. We must prevent this from happening again so as not to lose other important points for the MotoGP ranking. To give an explanation of what happened is the veteran Andrea Dovizioso, rider of the Yamaha WithU RNF team began his argument with this element: “ Cunlike from what people may think, it's not that impossible for something like this to happen »

He finishes : " When you choose one thing, there is no room for anything else. It depends on your priority and you decide which ones. Typically almost everyone chooses gears so you can check if you are in the correct gear when you downshift. If another number appears next to it, it could cause confusion. You could do it, but it's not the common norm »
