Aleix Espargaró and his Aprilia team encountered a challenging start to their weekend practice session. Espargaró experienced technical difficulties with his bike, which led to it stopping multiple times, including an incident right after exiting the pit lane. The recurring issue forced Espargaró to step out of the garage prematurely, affecting his practice routine. These setbacks underscore the unpredictability and technical challenges faced by racing teams, especially in high-stakes environments where every session counts for performance optimization and race preparation.
