The subject of renewing MotoGP riders' contracts for 2023 and beyond is testing the nerves of negotiators to such an extent that Aleix Espargaró has set an ultimatum for Aprilia to clarify the situation at the Catalan Grand Prix. This is the deadline on the Grand Prix calendar which follows that of Italy expected from May 27. We are therefore approaching the moment of truth, but against all expectations, a video stamped with the Noale brand brings to life Aleix Espargaró's refusal to sign a new contract proposed by his boss Massimo Rivola. One sensation that follows another: that of the name of the replacement…
The teams Aprilia en MotoGP and Alpine in Formula 1 met in Oviedo for the filming of an advertising film for a well-known lubricant brand, and everyone had a great time relaxing. For Massimo rivola, head of Aprilia Racing, it was even an unforgettable moment since he saw his two worlds brought together in unison. We will not forget, in fact, that he comes from Formula 1 in general and from Ferrari in particular. At a time when the pilot was Fernando Alonso.
Between Aleix Espargaro and Massimo Rivola the atmosphere is good-natured
The latter willingly agreed to perform this sketch which brings freshness to a rather heavy atmosphere which is currently weighing on the moods of the paddock. The question of salaries and contract renewals in a general context marked by the crisis, uncertainties and a particular situation revealing more riders looking for a handlebar than available motorcycles annoys the protagonists. Managers Valera et Sanchez, for in particular Aleix Espargaro et Joan mir have already stepped up to the plate to demand that their respective pilots be paid at fair value.
Aleix Espargaró regretted not having yet really met his boss Massimo Rivola on the subject. With these images, he can no longer say that he is being avoided and what is refreshing is that the two men play humor. And it’s also reassuring for the future…
