Why Aprilia is “on another level” after Friday at the MotoGP Catalan GP
Aleix Espargaro dominated both Friday sessions at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, outpacing his Aprilia teammate Maverick Vinales. Espargaro set a new lap record in FP2, showcasing the superior traction of the Aprilia RS-GP. Other riders, such as VR46 Ducati’s Bezzecchi, acknowledged the advantage of the Aprilias in terms of drive grip and speed. The low-grip conditions at the Barcelona circuit suit the RS-GP, as seen in Espargaro’s success at last year’s Argentine GP. The agility of the RS-GP chassis and its strong entry into corners contribute to its acceleration advantage.
