Quartararo imposes his power on the Aprilias at a good level

Date:

The action returned to MotoGP with ten riders in less than half a second on a day dominated by the Frenchman and Joan Mir behind

“This track has a lot of ‘flow’,” Joan Mir explained graphically, second at the start of the British Grand Prix on a track, Silverstone, where his Suzuki won in the hands of Maverick Vinales in 2016 and Álex Rins in 2019. « The Suzuki is a motorcycle that is very well balanced. And I think this is a big point in our favor,” continued the Mallorcan, who was 154 thousandths behind Fabio Quartararo. The Frenchman is another bike that is well managed because at the moment he is the only one doing it, he also has that ‘flow’, the ability to smoothly couple corners, a traditional quality of these two Japanese bikes. This also applies to the Aprilia, the prototype with which Aleix Espargaró wants to compete against the current world champion and winner at Silverstone in 2021.

“I have had very good feelings, especially with the race tire, with which we have been very competitive,” analyzed Aleix Espargaró, fifth, just over two tenths behind his rival on a day when the top ten finished in less than half a second. . “With the soft, I haven’t been very brilliant, but there will be time tomorrow. It seems that there is a lot of equality and that is good and beneficial for us, Aprilia,” he added. A good sign about the potential of the Italian bike is confirmed by the third place of Maverick Viñales, who has not hidden since his debut on the podium in Assen that one of his goals is to help his brand become champions, meaning that he helps Espargaro.

“In 24 corners there will be some who will do better than Aleix, there will be others that Aleix will do better than me, and that’s why it’s important to work as a team to improve those points. You are not always strong at all points on the track, but if your teammate is strong at the points where you are not strong you can learn from him and that is the extra tenth you have there. I think that can bring us a lot. It may not work in one race, but it does in another. You have to be very disciplined in that regard,” said Maverick Vinales, who was seen in the second practice just ahead of his partner trying to get a job done between the two. A way of working that is hard to see in an essentially individual sport like motorcycling, but in Aprilia’s case is a reflection of the chemistry between the two Spanish riders, Espargaró was once a fundamental part of Viñales’ arrival to this garage .

“I’m not worried,” Quartararo concluded that it may just have to defend itself as the only Yamaha against the good work of its rivals. “I have a clear idea and I’m not just looking at Aleix; There are more people. In this Grand Prix I’m not focusing on Aleix or any other rider, I’m focusing on myself, on trying to go as fast as possible on each lap and get the best pace, and in the race we’ll see what happens,” the Frenchman explained.The Frenchman will have the handicap to meet a long lap penalty at the start of the race, forcing him to take the outer zone (marked) at Turn 14, a move he began on Thursday. practice and in which he is estimated to lose a little over a second. This loss weighs more or less depending on the race situation at the time, which position you look at it from and in which you return to the track.

The day also left a good result in Moto3 for Izan Guevara, second overall, who also finished second and, most importantly for his ambitions, with leader Sergio García well behind in 18th place. Meanwhile, in Moto2, he commanded Augusto Fernández, co-leader and who has just won in Assen, on a day marked by the early confirmation of Pedro Acosta’s absence from the Grand Prix, who was ultimately denied permission from the Grand Prix. doctors to participate this weekend, once that in the last X-ray that was performed early this Friday, the doctors did not clearly see the consolidation of the callus from the fracture of his left femur. The Murcian decided to return home immediately to try and speed up the deadlines for the next appointment on the calendar, the Austrian Grand Prix.
