In this European Grand Prix, there were, during the first day on Friday, two beginners in the MotoGP peloton. On the one hand a Lorenzo Savadori promoted to Aprilia in place of a Bradley Smith, dismissed shortly after somewhat disillusioned declarations... And on the other hand Garett Gerloff, mobilized at the very last moment on the orphan official Yamaha of Valentino Rossi, who still had to prove his good health with regard to the coronavirus. The first city then gave way to the Doctor while the second continued on its way. However, the best memory was not left by the one who rode the longest…
Lorenzo Savadori made his big debut in MotoGP, an opportunity that rewards a professional career placed under the seal ofAprilia. That being said, there would not have been the landing of the American Garrett Gerloff, surprising for his very first laps on an M1 and on a Valencia track which was completely unknown to him, we would have focused more on the Italian's performance...
A fall then an engine alert
Less than Savadori will continue his experience on the RS GP until the end of this season, and that he will therefore still be in Valencia this weekend. He will have the opportunity to progress on the same track where he discovered MotoGP. This time he will hope to see the finish. Last Sunday, he actually experienced some problems which he explains as follows: “ at the beginning, I could overtake Rabat straight away and I didn't push too hard, I was waiting for the fuel to drop a little to start setting the pace. Unfortunately I lost the front at a moment when I didn't expect it ».
After this fall, he got back on the saddle of the RS GP. But a new disappointment awaited him: “ I started again but obviously the bike was not in perfect condition. I continued, also to gain experience and collect data, untilan alarm on the dashboard forces me to give up. It's obviously a shame but in a few days we will have the opportunity to try againr » finishes the Italian Superbike champion on the RSV4.
