Saturday at Silverstone did not begin with good news: Lorenzo Savadori was forced to bring his weekend to an early close due to the injury he suffered during the Austrian race. The goal is to recover as best he can in order to be back in the saddle as soon as possible.
Aleix’s performance, on the other hand, brought smiles back to the Aprilia camp. Second in the morning FP3 session, the Spanish rider confirmed his good work from yesterday, qualifying to go straight through to Q2. In FP4, Espargaró and his team focused on getting ready for the race with a long run on used tyres.
In the crucial qualifying session, Aleix rode his RS-GP flawlessly, all the way to a time of 1’59.273 that earned him a spot on the second row.
