Jorge Martin tipped off about the 'weak point' of the Aprilia
Jorge Martin has been reminded that he must adjust to a different ‘DNA’ when he switches to Aprilia.He missed out on a promotion to the factory Ducati squad so chose to sign for their Italian rivals.Current Aprilia rider Maverick Vinales made a comparison: “ do the corners in less metres.“They are more sharp. In a 180 degree corner, you come back completely, they make a difference.
“It feels that you lose on acceleration but in reality you lose in the metres to the corner. That is our weak point.” TNT Sports’ Neil Hodgson added: “Great description. He’s got a bird’s eye view, spending a whole race battling with Ducatis. It is difficult for the Aprilia riders. “At Ducati you can point and squirt it more - you can attack the corner more, so you can be faster and gain time.“At the key point of the corner, it turns more, then you fire it out.“You’ve got to go around, then you get blocked by a Ducati in the middle of the corner who is slightly faster.Sylvain Guintoli replied: “It’s part of the DNA of the bike. It’s like this at every track.“The stop-and-go? The Ducati does it better.
Martin, this year on the GP24 Ducati, slipped to second in the MotoGP championship last weekend at the Sachsenring when he fell out of the lead of the grand prix.
