168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Vinales frequently ꦑlives up to his name - brilliant at his 🔥best, but 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 coulܫd yet be Ducati’s closest challengeܫr 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 is 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 t💃o get the result that๊ he has the ability to do.

“I hope he does, I really do!”

Last year Vinales ꦕsecured three podium finishes including at the Porꦜtimao 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 o🌜f Aleix’s favourite circuits,” Crafar assessed.

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

“He said al🎐l that’s missing i🍌s a bit of torque, engine power.

“Eveꦜryth♓ing is there. They’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 it has more 𝐆torﷺque.

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

Davide Brivio, the new team princওipal at Trackhouse, insists Aprilia are a team to watch at the Qatar MotoGP.

"I think Aprilia is iꩵn a great spot to 🧸be a challenger of Ducati, together with KTM," Brivio tipped.

"So that's also very exciting, to try to challenge the st💮ronger guys, that are dominating. That's why it's good to be with Aprilia at th🌸is moment.

“With the 2024 bike, there's been a lo♓t of work on the aerodynamics. Actually, from what I could see, Aprilia has been co♏pied 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 same pathway, without u🐷nderestimating the others [like] KTM.”
