It wasn’t only KTM’s MotoGP riders that got to try a carbon fibre frame during Monday’s Misano test, with Aprilia also making their version of the composite frame available to Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Vinales.
Friday’s Safety Commission meeting at Misano included a video presentation on the last-minute safety updates being made at the Buddh International Circuit for the upcoming Indian MotoGP.
Maverick Vinales has taken a shot at Yamaha by saying ‘I wasn’t treated well in the past’, and that Aprilia value him much more after helping the Italian manufacturer secure their first-ever 1-2 in MotoGP.
Aleix Espargaro and Aprilia continued their dominant start to the Catalan MotoGP after the Spaniard broke the official lap record in second practice, which he set last season.
Maverick Vinales says ‘it’s mandatory’ that Aprilia helps deliver him with better race starts after losing out on two potential podiums due to dreadful starts at the Austrian MotoGP.
