Aleix Espargaró wants to show his worth to the Aprilia Racing team as MotoGP returns to Europe, namely to Jerez. The Spanish rider was one of the fastest riders last year at the Spanish circuit, where he took pole position.
The Aprilia Racing rider stated, according to Paddock.gp, that he aims to challenge the Ducatis and asserts that there are no excuses for not achieving a positive result.
– ‘In Qatar, the bike was very fast and it continued in Portimão and Austin. Jerez is a track where I fit better, I took pole there last year and had an excellent pace. No excuses, I have to be competitive there. This is the first real test of the year’.
Aleix also praised the Italian manufacturer and his teammate, Maverick Viñales, for his performance at the Americas GP: ‘When Aprilia is in good form, it’s impressive. Maverick was spectacular, choosing the medium rear tire, although with the soft one he could have been even faster’
