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.
After reaching ‘our record’ front tyre pressure in Saturday’s Sprint, Aprilia’s Aleix Espargaro lined up for Sunday’s Austrian MotoGP with his front tyre ‘almost flat’.
Francesco Bagnaia believes he can make it back-to-back MotoGP wins in Austria this weekend, while Jorge Martin expects to be back in contention for victory.
