After returning to the MotoGP (Sprint) podium at Silverstone, where he also put Aprilia on pole position and set the fastest grand prix race lap, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Aleix Espargaro faces a tougher 🌳challenge this weekend in𒉰 Austria.

The Spaniard, retiring♎ at the end of this season, freely admits that the stop-and-go nature of the circuit doesn’t suit his riding style. Or indeed, the strengths of the RS-GP, which still excels in fast corners, although progress has also♑ been made in hard braking.

But𝓀 that would a☂lso make a good result in Austria extra sweet.

“It's not one of my favourite circuits, as it's a stop-and-go t🍎rack that doesn't suit my🌜 riding style very much,” Espargaro said of the Red Bull Ring.

“♍However, I e𝓀njoy challenges and that's how I'll approach this weekend.

“I can’t wait to be back on tr🐻ack. Let's see if we can perform well, because g🅰ood results on difficult tracks count twice.”

While Espargaro finished 9th in last year’s GP, team-mate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Maverick Vinales was the top Aprilia rider in sixth.

Al💝though Austria has been the scene of some dramatic moments for Vinales, includღing brake failure in 2020 and then a mid-2021 split from Yamaha, it’s a circuit he enjoys.

“The ‘Ring is a nice trac🍃k. In the past we had struggled there, but last year I had a good result, especially in qualifying, where I started from the second oꦅn the grid,” he said.

“I am ready to give one hundred pe🍎rcent to try and find what we were missing in♉ Silverstone so we can improve our level and get back to the top.”

Vinales remains the top non-Ducati rider in the world championsh꧃ip, in fifth, but with th📖e KTM’s of Pedro Acosta and Brad Binder in close pursuit.

Meanwhile, there will be a fifth Aprilia in action this weekend with test rideඣr Lorenꦗzo Savadori making his fourth wild-card of the season.

The Italian🌌 is back in action after suffering multiple fractures to his vertebrae at Assen, where Espargaro injur𓄧ed his hand.

Savadori will again be riding the Aprilia ‘laboratory bike’, working on parts and ideas for the future.
“I can’t wait to get back to racing. I’m 🍷still not at 100% physical fitness, but I hౠave made progress,” Savadori said.

“I’ll be racing with a laboratory bike and we’ll be trying several upgrades. There will b𓆏e plenty of work to🃏 do, including for the future.”

Aprilia’s 2025 future will not include either E💃spargaro (retiring and switching to Honda test riding duties) or Vinales (switching 🐭to Tech3 KTM).

Instead, current Pramac Ducati title leader Jorge Martin and VR46’s Marco Bezzecchi will form next year’s factory line-up.
