Maverick Viñales must undoubtedly have found his first laps satisfactory on his new Aprilia RS-GP mount since he is officially announced on it for the next stage of the current season in Aragon. The Noale brand declares this by not hiding its enthusiasm…
After the first satisfactory test organized on Tuesday on the circuit of Misano with theAprilia RS-GP, the confirmation arrived this Wednesday: Maverick Vinales will resume racing next weekend at Aragon.
Massimo rivola Chairman and CEO Aprilia Racing commented: “ We are very proud to be able to announce our plans for the current season and for 2022, with a view to maximizing the contribution of our three drivers. Alongside the very experienced Aleix, we are happy to welcome into the Aprilia Racing family a talent like Maverick, who showed a very good feeling with the team and with the bike from the start and who I am sure will be able to give the best of himself from the Aragón GP.
At the same time, we also confirm the role of Lorenzo Savadori as 2022 test driver, a fundamental position that pays tribute to the great commitment shown in the development of the new RS-GP, as it will conclude the 2021 season using the wild cards that we will decide together as soon as it returns to 100% fitness ».

Roman Albesian Aprilia Racing Technical Director added: “Thehe decision to have Maverick on the Aragón track is a direct consequence of the test carried out in Misano. It was not a given that after a career spent so far riding motorcycles with an in-line engine, Maverick would immediately have a good feeling with our V4. This is why the test on this track, historically not easy for our bike, was an important moment of verification.
We are therefore satisfied with the immediate positive reactions from Maverick, who showed a good feeling both with the RS-GP, with the team and the working method. His talent and that of Aleix, combined with Lorenzo's experience this season, allow us to look forward with optimism to the future of our MotoGP project. ».
