Aleix Espargarò finished his first test day in Misano with a 7th time, less than half a second from the top. On a day when the Ducatis dominated the scene, Aprilia’s rider from Spain ended up on the chase.

Aleix prefers to look at the glass half full, based more on his sensations.

I came here with some reservation, but I had some good feelings today,” he said. “I managed to be fast and constant today. With the medium tire, I was competitive, and I’m convinced that I can improve on the flying lap tomorrow.

Viñales, who preceded him, also gave some interesting feedback.

We’re very similar in terms of competitiveness with the medium. We can also do well with soft, since we know how important qualifying is.

Finally, he spoke about the weather variable.

We’ll see what happens. The grip has improved since the track has been resurfaced, and we managed to be competitive last year. Now we just have to see what happens.
