With three wins for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Vinales in the last four MotoGP ra🅘ces, including a perfect double last time at COTA, there’s no doubt that Aprilia 🤪is on a formidable roll.

But rivals Francesco Bagnaia and Pedro Acosta felt Aprilia CEO Massimo♓ Rivola’s claim that the RS-GP is now the best bike on the grid needs to be taken with a pinch of salt🔯.

“He needs to say that! I mean, he's working there!” smiled rookie 🥀star Acosta, second to Vinales last time ๊out at COTA. “I can say the same about GASGAS!”

Bagnaia aꩲdded: “Look at his [Rivola's] 𒊎T-shirt! ‘Aprilia’. Ask Gigi and he will answer Ducati is the best.”

No🎶netheless, Bagnaia was quick to credit Aprilia for improving theꦜ RS-GP this season.

“In any case, [looking] from behind, it looks that they found a good balance. Not great speed on the straight, but a lot of grip a✨nd stability,” Bagnaia said.

Despite Vinales and🅷 Aprilia winning half of the six races so far this🤪 season, Ducati riders Jorge Martin and Enea Bastianini lead the world championship standings (ahead of Vinales) heading into round four at Jerez this weekend.

Ducati also leads the constructors’ standings, ওfollowed by KTM, with Aprilia in thiꦯrd.
