Aprilia now the best bike? ‘They would say that!’
P♉edro Acosta and Francesco Bagnaia respond to claims that the Aprilia RS-GP is now the 'best bike' in MotoGP🍸.
With three wins for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Maverick Vinales in the last four MotoGP races, including a perfect double la꧂st time at COTA, there’s no doubt that Aprilia is on a formidable roll.
But rivals Francesco Bagnaia and Pedro Acosta felt Aprilia CEO Massimo R♏ivola’s claim that the RS-GP is now the best bike on the grid needs to be taken with a pinch of salt.
“He needs to say that! I mean, he's working there!” smi🗹led rookie star Acosta, second to Vinales last time out at COTA. “I can say the same about GASGAS!”
Bagnaia added: “Look at his [Rivola's] ꦏT-shirt! ‘Aprilia’. Ask Gigi and he will answer Ducati is the best.”
Noneꦿtheless, Bagnaia was quick to credit Aprilia for improving the RS-GP🔴 this season.
“In any case, [looking] from behind, it looks that they found a good balance. Not great speed on the straight, but a lot of grip and stability,” Bagna🤡ia said.
Despite Vinales and Aprilia winning half of the six races so far this s𒐪eason, Ducati riders Jorge Martin and Enea Bastianini lead the world championship standings (ahead of Vinales) heading into round four at Jerez this weekend.
Duca🉐ti also leads the constructors’ standings, followed by KTM, with Aprilia in third.
Peter has been in the paddoc꧅k for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come an♉d go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
