Aprilia made a statement on Monday when they signed MotoGP championship leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin in place of the soon-to-be retired 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro.

But despite Martin being one of Espargaro’s closest friends, the addition of Martin is not one that is expected to swa𝕴y Espargaro’s decision to leave for Honda, which is expected to be announced soon.

“It’s a good point but I think Aleix would like a different🧔 challenge,” Massimo Rivola told MotoGP.com.

“He did his history and he feels like he has done his history with us✤. Maybe he ꩲwill find it a more challenging situation for his future but I wish him the best.”

In terms of their second factory Aprilia seat, Rivola is hoping to keep Ma🦄verick Vinales alongside Martin.

Rivola said: “Maverick is part of the big puzzle and for me is a priority. Unfortunately, everything was🐎 so tight and 🍌done in a rush so I wrongly didn’t find the time to speak with him.”

Rivola did confirm that Aprilia are interested in Enea Bastianini and Marco Bezzecchi, 🌳before reiterating his desire 💜to keep Vinales.

“Yes absolutely and they are all fantastic riders,” said Rivola when asked about Bastianini and Bezzecchi. “Let’s see but the priꦡority would be Maverick.”

With Espargaro leaving Aprilia, the challenge of having a new rider in Martin adapt quickly to the RS-GP will be a challenge the team has now had to face for several season🃏s.

But Rivola expec🃏ts the extremely talented Spaniard to adapt quickly: “I think we are recognised, generally as a good teaღm.

“People feel good and his ada🉐ptation would be a question mark. But given his level of ta𓃲lent and his riding style, I don’t think it will take long.”
