RiderTua.com – Max Biaggi is a legend (4 times 250cc world champion) and is currently the Aprilia brand ambassador. Aprilia is still not perfect, as Aleix Espargaro made a good start in Qatar and Vinales in Portugal. But Aprilia is showing extraordinary things, because Aleix’s podium in Qatar and Maverick’s in Portimao are two good signs when it comes to competitiveness.
As is known, thanks to Vinales Aprilia won the sprint race in Portimao. Even though the record does not count sprints as official MotoGP wins, the Spanish rider became the first rider to win with 3 different manufacturers. However, his hopes of establishing this record in the main race were dashed due to a gearbox problem.
Max Biaggi : Aprilia Must Restore Maverick Vinales’ Spirit
Max Biaggi added that there was an unnecessary ‘0’ for Vinales in last weekend’s main race due to technical problems and this is a bit worrying. Aprilia hopes to finish quickly to restore the spirit of the riders who had an extraordinary weekend.
Aprilia informed Biaggi that there was a problem with the gearbox, and the team did not know specifically what the cause was. If he doesn’t have any problems, Vinales could even compete for victory because he had a penalty from the start, concluded the 52-year-old former rider.
