The eyes of noi were shining again from Roses Maverick Viñales at the Gran Premi de Catalunya where he scored an Aprilia one-two with Aleix Espargaró for the first time in free practice. He is confident again, and they have shown it in renewal, within a team that currently tops the squad classification and a series of tracks to come, especially Silverstone in his thoughts where he can very good. but why not start the dream at home.
“A double would be a dream for Aprilia, for Aleix and for me. It would be brutal, but difficult, because the opponents are so strong”, he admits.
The approach
“We followed a morning approach to understand what we were going to look for in the race, because usually the sensations of the first free sessions were the same as in the race, and that’s why I put a new tire on the final start. Then I started with a tire used for racing, because the last ten laps are very important here, pretty much for the data and to see how much rubber is used up ”
“And then, when I put the tire on for the ‘time attack’, the jump with the qualified tire was so great that I didn’t take full advantage of it and I also tried to understand if the soft tire could last the whole race, for example. we have worked well, we have a foundation and a path to follow that I think is very good “
“In free seconds we want to do it with a used tire, to see the end of the race because if you haven’t tested it, in racing it becomes hard to know how to manage those tires and now we have good data. , so we will fix them “
This has already improved the outputs
“The start has improved already, at Mugello I reached the first corner three or four positions ahead and that has been relaxing to you since I started strong and this weekend even more, I am more motivated, because the worst is to start in the back, because the tire pressure rises so much, it’s hard to brake and when you come out in front everyone is careful not to touch, but in the back goes the machete. Another story, another world “
If there is a fight with Aleix …
“I’m safe, don’t hesitate! I think Aleix would do the same, it’s obvious. But no, let’s see, I would try to pass him, although with mutual respect kasi we are working for Aprilia and Aleix has a very good position in the championship. I’m not going to make a fool of myself, although I’ll try, that’s for sure. “
