MARCO BEZZECCHI
“I began the weekend positively. It went quite well. I’m pleased with this first day. I already felt good this morning, and we managed to make a few additional improvements in the afternoon. There are three heavy braking zones at Silverstone, but the rest of the track is smooth and flowing and the RS-GP25 has consistently performed well here. Of course, we still need to make further enhancements, but the bike operates effectively at this circuit”.
LORENZO SAVADORI
“The Aprilia RS-GP25 is making progress. The elements we’ve been developing over several races are becoming more refined and are beginning to deliver positive results. We’ve never stopped, and we’re making the most of every race to continue the development process. A lot of material arrives from Noale, and I test everything new immediately in race conditions. It’s also great to see how fast Marco was”.
PAOLO BONORA
“A strong start for Aprilia Racing, particularly for Marco, at a circuit that has always suited him and us. We’re continuing to work hard, as we know there are still aspects to fix ahead of the sprint. Although this is practically a brand-new track for Lorenzo, we’re pleased with his result and the development solutions we’re progressing”.
