Aprilia has bet heavily on aerodynamics for the 2024 RS-GP, but the large range of new aero p🉐art𓆉s has also changed the balance and riding style needed for the bike.

While168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Aleix Espargaro was quick to master the extra downforce and resulting weight, team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Vinales and Trackhouse’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Miguel Oliveira took longer to adapt.

But by the end of the Qatar MotoGP test, Vinales had joined Espargaro in the top six, while Oliveira delivered his best day of the pre-season in twelfth (+0.884s). Both seemed more comfortable on the standard rear aero, rathe🍎r than the new diffuser style design.

“We tested many, many things in all the areas, but in particular in the 🅘aerodynamic side we tested a lot,” Aprilia team manager Paolo Bonora told MotoGP.com

“And we worked on𝐆 t🔜he chassis and electronic side to adjust the package for the new aerodynamics.

“At the end of this ♒test we fixed a few question marks t🥀hat we had after the Sepang test.

“We defined the first set-up for Aleix and Maverick and we defined in a better way ꧟how to use the new bike.

“Because the new aerodynamics change the riding style and it’s neces🔯sary to adapt to the꧅ new set-up.”

Engine development appears to have♛ been minimised by Aprilia for 2024. 

That is good news at least for Oliveira’s team-mate Raul Fernandez, on the 2023 spec bike, who is set to be upgraded to 🅰the 2024 parts during the year.

Aprilia, Ducati and KTM riders are unable to change ꦓengine design during the season.
