Aleix Espargaro: Aprilia’s carbon fibre frame ‘really different’
“We need to try again. It’s different, not better or worse,” said Espargaro during lunchtime. “We need to try it on another track and rebalance the bike. Improving the chassis is difficult at our current level.” Espargaro, who finished 16th in Session 1, revealed that he crashed on the new frame due to the softer flex. He described the incident as being scary, as he had to jump off the bike to avoid hitting the wall. Espargaro added that the new frame is lighter and more flexible than intended, and while it performs better on certain corners, it becomes more unstable on others. He ruled out using the carbon fibre chassis for the remaining races of the season, as he believes the current package is sufficient to compete for victories. The next MotoGP test will take place after the Valencia finale in November.”
