Throughout his career with Aprilia, Aleix Espargaró has always looked forward anxiously to the Aragón round. His particular feeling with the MotorLand circuit, which is apparently also very well suited to the characteristics of the RS-GP, has often allowed the Spaniard to achieve some of his best performances of the season on this asphalt. In the current season, expectations are even higher because of the outstanding form Aleix and his Aprilia have demonstrated, culminating in the first historic MotoGP podium for the Italian manufacturer. However, the celebrations from Silverstone have not distracted from the primary objective, still focused on consistent performance.
It will also be an important weekend for the début of Maverick Viñales astride the RS-GP on a race weekend. An opportunity for Aprilia and for Maverick to prepare for the 2022 season, accumulating experience in a race environment, so under the most demanding conditions. The first approach in Misano during two days of testing was positive for both the rider and the Italian team, but everyone is well aware that the long road to achieving ideal chemistry has just begun.
