Aprilia answered a “question mark” over🌄 their fresh technical direction at Silverstone, t🍌he Crash MotoGP podcast heard.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marco Bezzecchi delivered his first win for Aprili💫a, and the manufacturer’s first of the 2025 season, in the British MotoGP.

It came amid their injured star Jorge Martin’s implications that he could quit Aprilia next 🐼year. His absence from Silverstone meant the situation evolved without him.

U🐎ltimately it was other unsung Aprili🍸a assets who earned their big win.

“When we arrived, with the Aprilia situation, it was silent. We hadn’t had any official comment. It came on Thursday morning,” Peter McLaren told the Crash MotoGP podcast.

“It has been a big talking point all𝔉 weekend - what’s𒊎 going on? What’s the future? All negative things.

“Then, they end up on the top step.

“Don’t forget t𒅌his is the first win for the new technical side of Aprilia with Fabiano Sterlacchini.

“There would have been a question mark there.

“Romano Albesiano had led that project f🐠rom when they came in wiꦛth the RS-GP to MotoGP.

“It’s confidence to show the riders that we can win, we h꧃ave a winning pac🦂kage.

“If that’s what Martin was starting 🐼to doubt… we don’t know what he was thinking when he watched the race at home.

“Massimo Rivola was asked if he had any idea what Martin w🐽ould s🔯ay, and he said no.

“The bottom line is that the RS-GP is back on the top step for the first time since Maverick Vinales at COTAꦫ.”

Albesiano was a high-profile departure from Aprilia at the end of last season, when he became the new technical director to spearhead Honda’s resu﷽rgence.

Sterlacchini was recruited to replace him after a sꦑhort stint at KTM. He had also worked at Ducati.

Bezzecchi’s win w🔯as therefore the first under the vision of Sterlacchini.

Rivola said: “I'm particularly happy also for Fabiano Sterlacchini because since he joined the team, we didn't🧸 get too many satisfactions and now we deserve that."

Similarity to Jorge Lorenzo at Ducati noticed

It was a victory which 𒁏had been threatened for some time, though.

“It was the perfect ♕timing after negative publicity a๊t a track where we knew the Aprilia goes well,” Peter McLaren explained.

“We knew Be💎zzecchi had the pace from preseason testing with sprint simulations. 

“Even at Le Mans, he ran off, but Massimo Rivo🧜lﷺa underlined that he had podium.

“This is not a shot in the dark result. Aprilia have al🌺ways felt that if Bezzecchi could qualify better, and be further ahead on the opening laps, he could run with the guys on the podium.

“We saw he took his chance a𒅌t a special track in special conditions on the soft tyre.

“Unfortunate for Fabio Quarꦏtararo but I don’t think anyone will🌊 begrudge Aprilia and Bezzecchi this result.”

The a🍃bsent Martin, meanwhile, will return to a garage where his teammate is already a grand prix w🦄inner on their bike.

“I see similarities to when Jo𒅌rge Lorenzo went to Du🍌cati,” Peter McLaren said.

“All the attention was on this multiple-time world champion🦄. Then it was Andrea Dovizioso, sat next to him, who got the wins and the success.

“Bezz has come in at the same time as Martin, so it’s🤡 not the s🌳ame in that regard.

“But all of the attention has been on Martin. But Bezzecchi got the firs﷽t win for them.

“For💫 Bezzecchi, it’s exactly what they need - the whole te🍌am and his side of the garage.”
