"[Romano] knows exactly what he's done with the Aprilia and the big evolution they followed"
Aprilia’s technical director since 2013, when Gigi Dall’Igna was poached by Ducati, Albesiano has overseen the RS-GP’s rise from the back of the MotoGP grid to poles, podiums and race wins.Mir, the 2020 world champion for Suzuki, has only one top ten GP finish since joining Honda at the start of last year. The Spaniard hopes the approach and techniques used by Albesiano to transform Aprilia’s fortunes can now be adapted to the RC213V.
“And to exploit a bit more the capacity of the technicians in Japan. The Japanese staff are very good, but we just need to close a little bit this time reaction, from one evolution to the other. With Kawauchi still very much involved in the MotoGP project, team-mate Luca Marini highlighted that Albesiano will further strengthen the current engineering team.
“I don't think that it will change all the philosophy of Honda, of all the years. I think that we are super good in many things and we will try to improve our strongest points because in some things the bike is incredible and the Japanese made a fantastic job.
