Aleix Espargaró is the undisputed leader of Aprilia. His work and experience have allowed Noale’s firm to achieve its first podium in MotoGP. Based on this result, Aprilia must build a project on a par with the rest of the manufacturers. For his part, Maverick Viñales faces his complete first season in Aprilia after joining the Italian structure in the middle of last season. Mack’s goal is to improve on the eighth place he achieved as the best result with the RS-GP in 2021.
Aleix Espargaro he was confident in the project that the brand has been developing: «It’s been six years here. Aprilia is like my second family. I’m not 20 years old, I’m 32, but I have the hunger of an 18-year-old. I can’t give Maverick advice on how to go faster. He already has experience despite being young. If I can give him one, it is that he believes in this team. last year already we show that we can fight with the best. It is important to go all one thousand percent in this direction. Today’s technology is a very big challenge. I like the evolution of a MotoGP. Being part of it is a great challenge. To the fans I say that I will make you have fun».

Maverick Vinales He also had a few words for his teammate: «I have known Aleix for a long time. The clearest and biggest difference is that he is on the motorcycle and I am outside». He also took the opportunity to talk about changing his number and how he would act if he got a good result: «In the past, he used 25 because they gave 25 points for the victory. Later, I used 12 because I started with that number and I will end my sports career with it. I don’t know what I would do for a podium, that’s something spontaneous. Many times I think about making a podium or achieving a victory with Aprilia. I’d do something crazy, for sure.”
