Antonio Jiménez is one of Aleix Espargaró’s coaches and in a statement, according to Motosan.es, he spoke about rookie Pedro Acosta, who has impressed everyone and everything, and about the importance of having Miguel Oliveira and Raúl Fernández developing the RS-GP.
Jiménez began by talking about Pedro Acosta: “The great champions, those who appear every ten years, overcome obstacles with remarkable ease. This kid analyzes, digests and solves problems in the blink of an eye. A youngster like Acosta, who comes from Moto2, reaches 350 km/h, takes huge corners and finishes the race not only physically intact, but also happy? It’s something’.
Regarding the evolution of collaborations with satellite teams, namely Trackhouse Racing, Jimenez says that Pramac is the example to follow.
– “We need to strengthen our satellite team to make it as competitive as the official one. Oliveira already has the 2024 bike and Raul will have it soon. The idea is to become hyper-competitive, both at official and satellite level’.
Finally, he concluded by praising Aleix Espargaró for all his dedication over the years at Aprilia Racing: “It was Aleix who built the Aprilia we know. When things were tough, he never gave up. We fought for every point, to be in the top ten, to be on the front row. We fought for everything together and we did it’.
