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 races, including a perfect double last time at COTA, there’s no doubt that Aprilia is on a formid𝔍able rol🌳l.

But rivals Francesco Bagnaia and Pedro Acos𒁃ta fജelt 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 Vin𝕴ales last time out at COTA. “I can say the same about GASGAS!”

Bagnaia a🐠dded: “Look at his [Rivola's] T-shirt! ‘Aprilia’. Ask Gigi and he will answer Ducati is the best.”

Nonetheless, Bagnaia was quick to credit Aprilia for improving the R♈S-GP this season.

“In any case, [looking] from behind, it looks that they found a good balance. Not great speed on the st♒raight, bღut a lot of grip and 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 intoꦑ round four at Jerez this weekend.

🎃Ducati also leads the constructors’ standings, followed by KTM, with Aprilia in third.
