Aprilia has announced that Maverick Vinales will ride the RS-GP for the first time during a two-day test at Misano, starting on August 31.
This is a press release from Aprilia…
The test marks the start of Vinales’ integration into the new structure he will be a big part of in 2022, after he and Yamaha parted ways with immediate effect earlier this month.
Romano Albesiano, Aprilia Racing Technical Director: “From a technical point of view, it is always fascinating to listen to the impressions of a rider who is testing your bike for the first time. Especially with a champion like Maverick, who we are pleased to welcome into the Aprilia Racing family.
“After the great work carried out on the track by the racing department over the last two years, we are adding yet another piece to the path of growth that we are undertaking with encouraging results. Clearly the first approach involves a very practical adaptation phase, in terms of ergonomics and setup, which we know vary for each rider. But I’m sure that Maverick’s talent and speed will come to the fore right away and I can’t wait to start working together.”
