The most MotoGP wins in a season since they joined MotoGP, Aprilia were a force for much of the s𒐪eason even i𝓡f Ducati were stronger more often than not.

The same could also be said about KTM but to a much lesser degree, as Aprilia finished the year with two grand prix wins - both came from Aleix Espargaro - w♑hile KTM only tasted success in the sprint format.

• Ducati confirm Marqu🎃ez will 📖ride Zarco’s GP23, not Bagnaia’s or Martin’s

But despite achieving three wi🍰ns, Bonora said Aprilia can’t be totally satisfied due to the high expectations they set themselves.

Speaking to MotoGP.com, Bonora said: “To be♛ completely honest it was not such a good year for us. Probably because we started the season with expectations too high. 

“We didn’t achieve the goals we set. Despite the good races of Barcelona and Silverstone, in the second part of the season we didn’t score m﷽any points and we threw away many good situations. 

“We know which is our weakest point. In particular and specific track layou🐟ts we are so good. 𝓰;

“For example, corner track layout such as Barcelona and Silverstone. But we have to improve th൩e bike on the strong braking phases. 

“When you have high speed in the straight you have to pick up as ♐fast as possible and go.”

With regards to their riders, Maverick Vinal🎀es was winless but showed a lot of promise, while Espargaro took all three wins for the Noale brand but struggled during 🐎the latter half of the season.

Addressing Espargaro firs🐠t, Bonora said: “Aleix did a wonderful first part of the season and a wonderful race in Barcelona, like Maverick. And tဣhen in Silverstone we achieved another wonderful first position. 

“In the second part we didn’t set the bike for the new conditions that we found. We are happy about the riders but we have to be much more consistent and fast ♚to give him the confidence he requires.”

For Vinales, 202♑4 will be a big year as 2022 and 2023 were seasons where he demonst🌟rated the potential to win but failed to do so.

“Session by session and race by rꦗace he is able to be more consistent on the star♉t,” said Bonora about the Spaniard. “As you know, in MotoGP it is necessary to be in the first position in the first corner to achieve a good result. 

“His comments𒐪 were very helpful for Aprilia. His riding is very different to Aleix but we know wꦚhere it is important to improve.”
