P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Aprilia is under urgent pressure to reduce the intense heat emitted by the RS-GP after roasting its riders during Sunday’s Thai MotoGP race.
The extreme heat during the race caused Maverick Vinales to retire after dropping from tenth to last place. He explained that he lost mental clarity and was overwhelmed by the heat, particularly when lying down on the bike. Aleix Espargaro, Vinales’ teammate, and Raul Fernandez also struggled with the heat but managed to finish the race. Espargaro described it as the hardest race of his life and had difficulty breathing. The high temperatures at the circuit in Thailand have been a recurring issue for the past four seasons. Despite trying different solutions, the problem persists, and the upcoming race in Malaysia could present similar challenges.
