After missing the Dutch Grand Prix and Sachsenring weekend due to a hand fracture, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro kicks off his final half-season as a MotoGP rider aiminཧg to 'repeat' his stunning Silverstone victo♒ry of a year ago.

Espargaro took arℱguably the best win of his career after rising from sixth on the grid to overtake reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia for vict🍰ory on the final lap of last year’s British Grand Prix.

Silverstone was already a fond venue for Espargaro and Aprilia, after the RS-GP’s first podium at the circuit in 2021. Now he returns for what is likely to be 🌳his final race appearance at ♏the legendary track.

“It's a track I really like, not only because of last year's victory, but also because it was one of the most hi😼storic moments since I joined Aprilia, with our first podium in 2021,” Espargaro said.

“Silverstone⛄ suits the RS-GP very well, and suits me too, the aim is to repeat the 2023 result.

“Last year, the April🧸ias were always at the front. We hope to do well again this year; the team in Noale has worked over the summer break to improve the bike🌌.”

Team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Viñales also has a strong Silverstone record, including his first MotoGP victory, as a Suzukꦜi rider, in 2016.

Vinales also has two Aprilia podiums, with third﷽ in last year's ෴sprint race and second in the 2022 Grand Prix.

“I've always felt competiti💮ve at Silverstone, it's always exciting to race here, on a track full of history,” Vinales said. “I'm full of e♍nergy after the summer break, I've been training, and I'm ready to tackle the second half of the season.”

Vinales also welcomed the 🐈promotion of Trackhouse rider Raul Fernandez to a 2024 spec bike from this weekend.

“We'll try to exploit the full potential of the bikes. Raúl will be riding the RS-GP24 for the first time. It will be great to have four 2024 bikes on the track and very useful to gather as much data as possible,” Vinales said.
