It was outside the points that the Aprilia drivers finished a Czech Republic Grand Prix which was nothing but suffering. A real ordeal ended at 17e and 18e ranks, Iannone ranking ahead of his teammate Aleix Espargaró. The RS-GP did not even disrupt the performance of the KTM RC16s. She leaves behind only Karel Abraham and guest Sylvain Guintoli. Remember that the Noale firm is officially involved in MotoGP…
Fortunately, so as not to get too depressed, there would be activity. A test this Monday to console ourselves perhaps with new products and an Austrian Grand Prix which arrives next weekend. But still, this weekend in Brno hurt… “ After a good start I found myself close to the top ten and honestly I thought I could repeat a race like Sachsenring as the bike didn't look bad ", said Aleix Espargaró. " But after a few laps, I started to have abnormal rear tire rotation, even in the highest speeds ».
« It's a shame because the feeling was good, without this problem » continued the Spaniard of the team Aprilia Gresini. " For testing I will have a new frame and swingarm, as well as some electronics ideas we want to experiment with. We will try to take a step forward ».
« Unfortunately, we suffered throughout the weekend " added Andrea Iannone at the end of the race in Brno. “ In the race, I tried to manage the tire in the first part to try to come back at the end, but it wasn't enough. We have an important testing day, we need to react and strive to be more responsive ».
« Despite the difficulties we are not giving up, we want to make this project grow and competitions like this must be an additional stimulus for everyone, for the team and for those who work at the factory. » he concluded.
