Anything but a holiday. The month of July had team Aprilia working hard on developing the RS-GP. The manufacturer from Noale does not want to be unprepared for the Czech round, especially after the tenth place finish in Assen and the seventh place on the Sachsenring.
Romano Albesiano is well aware: “The first part of the season ended well for us – the project manager commented – and picking up after the summer break, we will be facing a series of tracks that are very demanding on the engine. We will have a few development steps that we believe are quite interesting – he added – Brno, in particular, is a track that puts the engine and chassis architecture to the test, whereas it tends to be less critical from a braking point of view.”
There is no lack of confidence in his expression, however: “e are expecting a hot weekend in terms of weather – e concluded – with Sunday being especially unpredictable. But we are ready to take on any conditions."
Also in the spotlight is Aleix Espargaró, who wants to dream big with his Aprilia after the holidays: " In the first part of this break I unplugged – he said – Between the tests and the races, the first part of the season was rather demanding for us, so it was a good chance to take a rest. I am ready and stoked – he advised – I know that the guys at Aprilia have worked hard over the past weeks to improve the RS-GP and we will resume our trend of growth at Brno."
Among those who do not want to disappoint is also Sam Lowes: “In the last races before the break, my feeling with the RS-GP improved a lot – he emphasized – Now I feel like I can ride the MotoGP bike the right way. There is constant improvement and I want to continue on this trend. Brno is a track that I love – he added – I did good races there in Moto2 and last year I finished on the podium.”
