A tip for Aprilia’s rider market movement was made on the Crash MotoGP podcast.

Aprilia ꦉmissed out on Fabio Quartararo who has penned a big-money deal to stay at Yamaha.

The Italian manufacturer reportedly failed with a € 4m-per-yer o𒐪ffer to snare Quartararo.

“That [the size of the offer] tells you that Aprilia w💫ere not going all-out for Quartararo,” Crash’s Peter McLaren said on our podcast.

“So they are either happy with who they’ve got, or they’ve got som𒈔eone else in mind.

“It doesn’t sound like a ‘we are go🎃ing all-out to get🦋 this guy’ kind of a pay packet.

“That tells you that they have got something else they are working on, maybe. Time will tel🎃l.ꦐ”

Aleix Espa🍨rgaro and Maverick Vinales make up the🎐 Aprilia duo, with Miguel Oliveira and Raul Fernandez at Trackhouse.

All four riders are ꦕout-of-contract at the end of this year, leaving Aprilia with big decisions to make.

“They have said publicly the same as KTM, that ‘🎉we want to keep the riders that we’ve got now’,” McLaren reported.

“That’s in an id𝔉eal world. And assumes that all of the ridไers are performing well.

“[Massimo Rivola] goes on to say, in pre🍸season🐎 at Sepang, that he has to be ready to react.

“‘If someone takes one of our riders, I have to be ready to go to the market, know what’s going on, and get someone else i꧒n’.

“So they are hedging their bets.

“He made it cl🎉ear, why he wants to keep four riders, is the stability.

“Changing a rider 🐼means changing the crew chief, sometimes th💝e mechanics.

“You💫 usually😼 only see a factory team change one rider at a time.

“If we follow that log🍬ic, Apriliꦫa will want to keep at least one rider.

“That fits with the names that are already signed. Bagnaia, 🔯Quartararo…"

Is Enea Bastianini suited to Aprilia?

“The second rider? It depends how they ꧒are performing," Mc🔯Laren reported.

“Aleix did fantastically in Qaꦯtar, ♒apart from the race result. Speed-wise he impressed.

“Then Vinales did great in Portimao.

“What will happen this time? Wi♑ll Miguel Oliveira pop🎉 up?

“They have got a lot of options at Aprilia.

“168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini - the Italian rider. It’s good to raise hi൩s name. The one thing they haven’t got in Aprilia is an Italian rider.

“Look at Ducati. When was the laಌst time they didn’t have an Italian rider? They’ve always had one Italian in the factory team.

“It would be good for [Aprilia]. It may even h꧒elp sponsorship, wꦏho knows.

“If you are Bastianini, we don’t know what will happen w🤪ith this ride.

“How safe is his position in the factory team♔ against guys like Martin, Marquez, Bezz potentially?

“Then what is the pull factor from Aprilia? “How much do Aprilia want another rider c🌸ompared to the guys they’ve got?”

Crash journaliꦇst Robert Jones added: “We all expected Jorge Martin to be the fir🍃st domino to fall.

“But, now that it’s Quartararo, that actually has a big impact on Martin potentially stayi📖ng with Ducati.

“It opens the door, if Bastianini’s place is in question🐼 at the factory team…

“The🀅 ties of him being Italian. And Aleix retiring which gets closer🍒 with every season.

“There are a lot of legs to Bastianin𒁏i moving to Aprilia if he feels that his seat is in danger.”
