168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Vinales frequeཧntly lives up to his name - brilliant at his best, 𝔉but the good days are too fleeting.

The veteran Spaniard is entering his 10th season of MotoGP in 2024 with this weekend’s Qatar opener.

And his Aprilia impressed during preseason testing and could yet be Ducati’s closest challenger in the early🔯 weeks of the season.

“Maverick? The problem is - as much as🙈 I love Maverick - you never know,” broadcaster Simon Crafar analysed.

“He ꧙is super fast, probably equally the most talented rider in the class.

“But you just don’t know what’s going to happen.

“It all has to run smoothly for him to get the result that he has the ab🍸ility to do.

“I hope he does, I really do!”

Last year Vinales secured three podium finisheꦗs including at the Portimao season-opener.

But this year, in Qatar, his teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro might have the advantage.

“This is one of Aleix’s favouri☂te circuitꦅs,” Crafar assessed.

“He said that he’s riding the best of his life, and he’s got the ಞbest machine that he’s ever ridden, the ‘24 Aprilia.

“He said all🍸 that’s missing is a bit of torq𒊎ue, engine power.

“Everything is there. T🥂hey’ve got the grip. But it doesn’t punch hard enough.

“They are already making big ﷽numbers with that engine. But he’s clearly hoping that the engine they turned up to the first race with, he’s hoping i💛t has more torque.

“I think he will be a real threat all weekend.”

Davide Brivio, the new te💯am principal at Trackhouse, insists Aprilia are a team to watch at the Qatar MotoGP.

"I think Aprilia is in a gre♋at spot to be a challenger of Ducati, together with KTM," Brivio tipped♛.

"So that's also very 🍬exciting, to try to challenge the stronger guys, that are dominating. That's why it's good to be with April🥃ia at this moment.

“With the 2024 bike, there's been a lot of work on the aerodynamics. Actually🌊, from what I could see, Aprilia has been copied by the others. So that's great! It's already a good achievement if you like.

“So I think with Aprilia we are in a position to be a serious challenger. Of course, it took Ducati many years to be in this position. And so hopefully Aprilia is going along the sa✱me pathway, without underestimating the others [like] KTM.”
