RNF’s Raul Fernandez was eager to get his hands on the mysterious start ‘system’ used by the factory Aprilia MotoGP team of Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Vinales, but it has now been ‘banned’.
According to MotoGP riders Maverick Vinales and Aleix Espargaro, they have been struggling with their race starts this season due to the banning of a previously used system. They had been using a different starting method until Australia, but it has now been prohibited. Aprilia, along with KTM, has made progress in improving their race starts, with much focus on the clutch. While the specific details of the banned system are unknown, it seems to involve optimizing the release of the clutch lever. The technical rules allow for hydraulic hand/foot controls, but not systems such as twin clutch transmission or automatic transmission. Each MotoGP factory must provide a schematic diagram of its clutch system to ensure rider control.
