As expected, once Fabio Quartararo confirmed the change in continuity by staying at Yamaha for two more years, the transfer market with a view to 2023 and beyond got excited behind the scenes of the Catalan Grand Prix. The latest trend is that the next two Aprilia drivers on the two future 2022 RS-GPs who will be put in the new RNF satellite team will be just as Spanish as the duo working within the factory structure.
A duo composed ofAleix Espargaró and Maverick Vinales which renewed until 2024. For the team RNF extension satellite, also within the walls of Noale until the same deadline, the desired balance between an experienced pilot and a young person in the making seems to have been found. A recipe whose ingredients are, according to rumor, alex rins et Raul fernandez.
2023: RNF fulfills its Aprilia specifications: experience and youth combined
alex rins believed for a moment that he could land a Ducati Gresini which should ultimately go into the hands of Miguel Oliveira who leaves his place at KTM to Jack Miller. Rins should be satisfied with the 2022 RS-GP which shows some potential with Aleix Espargaro, but also raises concerns for a driver accustomed to an in-line four-cylinder engine, if we judge by the situation of Maverick Vinales. But with the closure of the Suzuki stand, Kidneys didn't really have the choice of handlebars and the time to decide...
For the young side, Razlan Razali would welcome Raul Fernandez, tired of a first year in MotoGP with a KTM which he ultimately never wanted. The RC16 will at least have given him the experience of the V4 which he would therefore find in the RS-GP. Leaving his place at Tech3, it would thus give an opportunity to Remy gardner to stay there, alongside a new teammate who should be Pol Espargaro… To be continued.
