Alarm bells are ringing at Aprilia as the RS-GP continues to fall behind the dominant Ducati GP24
Aprilia’s Maverick Vinales says a disastrous run for him and team-mate Aleix Espargaro in MotoGP’s British Grand Prix “woke up people” at the Italian marque. The Silverstone weekend highlighted Aprilia’s struggles in race trim as Vinales dropped from eighth to 13th at the finish with heavy tyre degradation and Espargaro likewise slumped to sixth behind a quintet of Ducatis after starting from pole. The result was particularly a disappointment for Aprilia as the 5.
Vinales hopes this weekend’s Austrian GP will start to provide some answers about its loss in form and help the factory return to the front later in the year. “From my point of view, especially from my side, I become less competitive because I was able to win races , even though they were the Ducati '24,” said Vinales, who also won the sprint race prior to his double triumph in Austin.
