The MotoGP riders will later recover from their grueling Catalan Grand Prix as they return to the Montmèlo track near Barcelona this Monday for a day of testing. An essential day of work to prepare for the second part of the season but also a little for 2023. On these points, it is Aprilia which is still causing a sensation. Noale's men show that they have the initiative in the much-maligned field of aerodynamics. At Mugello, they showed a small rear wing. In Catalonia they are unveiling this new fairing…
For now, alone Maverick Vinales uses it on the RS-GP. According to the images seen on Moto.it, but which undoubtedly come from the British journalist Simon Patterson, we see an assembly which widens laterally to accompany a flow of air up to the stern, which is also refined. We therefore cannot stop progress within the European Marquez. During this time, Aleix Espargaro runs with an RS-GP that we would now describe as traditional, and he regrets a fall in turn 1 this morning.
