At the start of this thirteenth meeting of the year on the MotoGP calendar, the Aprilia rider Aleix Espargaró urged his employer to finally give himself the means to achieve his ambitions. Message received by the Noale pundits who caused a sensation in Misano during this first day of the San Marino Grand Prix. But not sure that this is the kind of effort that the Spaniard required…
Aprilia had already warned that it would attract attention on the track with the appearance of a new fairing in line with the one competing at Ducati, and dubbed by the officials. But it was in the box that the astonishment was at its height with the provision of a helmet for particularly advanced mechanics.
A helm that allows its wearer to work with augmented reality. Developed with the Realmore brand, it allows you, by looking at the motorcycle, to see its fluid temperatures and the wear rates of parts such as tires.
The chief engineer can even communicate remotely with his team by displaying an overlay on the headset screen to guide them with strategic information such as the type of tires to use or the quantity of fuel to put in the reservoir. Non-exhaustive list!
Of course, it doesn't save tenths, but it does get people talking...
