For Aprilia these were three important days which provided comforting responses on the level of the new 2018 RS-GP, especially in terms of race pace, as demonstrated by the long-run done by Aleix Espargar\u00f3 and Scott Redding.<\/p>\n<p>Both riders worked on refinements in view of the race, turning laps with used tyres to improve the performance of their RS-GP machines, a bike for which consistency over several laps is traditionally one of its strong points.<\/p>\n<p><b>ALEIX ESPARGARO&#8217;<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;I can\u2019t wait to be back here in two weeks to really get to work. The tests are important but I\u2019m happier when it\u2019s a race. This year things will be even more interesting because all the teams and riders will be at a very high level. I gave it my best during this pre-season to improve the 2018 RS-GP. It was a pity that a small problem kept me from finishing the race simulation. The truth is that the winter tests are often deceiving. There are a lot of riders who manage to do some fast laps but values will change in the race. I believe in our potential and I am confident that we will be battling for the top 8 straight away.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>SCOTT REDDING<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;We made a nice step forward again today with a few changes that increased my confidence straight away. I did another long run today and I was fast. I felt good on the bike and with a used tyre I did the same time that I had done yesterday with a new tyre. The RS-GP continues to perform very well with the tyres and that is something that has always been a problem for me in the past, whereas even with the soft tyre and a lot of laps I am able to be incisive and that makes me confident for the race.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The final tests before the start of the 2018 MotoGP Championship, also in Qatar, have just come to a close.
