Aprilia continues to grow and maintain consistent performance among the best. For the qualifiers on Saturday in Misano, the Noale-based manufacturer had both riders in Q2 for the first time, thanks to the fifth place (Vi\u00f1ales) and sixth place (Espargar\u00f3) obtained in the decisive FP3 session.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the qualifying session that decided the starting grid order, Espargar\u00f3 started strong in his first run, finishing with a nice time of 1\u201931.937. In his second outing with new tyres, when he was going for a time attack, number 41 fell victim to a crash that took him out of the running. Despite the crash, because of his good performance earlier, Aleix was still able to clinch a spot on the third row, missing the second row by just 14 thousandths of a second.<\/span><\/p>\n

Extremely positive signs arrived from Vi\u00f1ales, in his second race weekend with Aprilia and taking his first steps on the path to improving on the RS-GP. In free practice this morning, he demonstrated an outstanding pace and finished the session with the fifth best time, thereby going straight through to Q2. His tenth-place time in qualifying (1\u201932.121) places him in the best spot of the fourth row for the race tomorrow.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

ALEIX ESPARGARO’<\/strong>
\n“If it\u2019s true that the 2021 RS-GP is performing well everywhere, this is a track where we have historically struggled a bit more. I don\u2019t have the same feeling as Silverstone and Arag\u00f3n, but I’m still satisfied with the level we have achieved. The hard front tyre betrayed me in qualifying. I usually feel pretty good on it, but it works in a rather tight temperature range. It only took letting it cool down a couple of degrees to crash. Third row is still a good starting point. I think that, apart from Pecco, there may be a group of riders with a similar pace. Weather permitting!”<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

MAVERICK VI\u00d1ALES<\/strong>
\n“We worked well again today, focusing on our goal of getting to know the bike and accumulating experience. Maybe just in qualifying I expected to be able to do better, but I obviously still need to understand how to take the RS-GP to the limit on the flying lap. In terms of pace, on the other hand, I had good sensations. I lapped in FP4 with a full tank and used tyres and I think that proper tyre wear management may be an important factor on this track. We\u2019ll work in the warm-up session tomorrow as well, trying some new solutions. Every session is like a test for us.”<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
