Ducati and Aprilia have become the latest manufacturers to show their support for journalists being allowed entry to the Sepang MotoGP Shakedown test next month.
Aprilia Racing CEO, Massimo Rivola, expects the new MotoGP Sprint format to suit Aleix Espargaro as the Spaniard ‘will have less time to prepare for the race’.
Aleix Espargaro reveals what nearly made him quit MotoGP, but how Aprilia Racing CEO Massimo Rivola convinced him to stay - a decision that’s paid off after the team’s and Espargaro’s best ever start to a season.
Yamaha ‘didn’t feel strongly’ enough about Ducati’s swingarm device to join MotoGP’s four other factories in protesting the FIM’s decision to the Court of the Appeals, according to Managing Director Lin Jarvis.
Aprilia Racing’s CEO has delivered a damning assessment of the FIM's policing of new aerodynamic features on MotoGP machines, calling the procedures to check their legality “a joke”.
