In the meantime, Marco Bezzecchi answered questions from journalists on site. The Aprilia driver was generally very satisfied with the new Aprilia after the first few runs. The bike is “very fast” and a lot of fun to ride, even if it is still too early to make a final judgment.
In Sepang, Bezzecchi worked with both last year’s model and the new version of the motorcycle, switching between the two several times to make initial comparisons.
The Italian described the new parts as “interesting” and praised the development work from Noale, which provided many different components for testing. However, due to the limited number of tires, it is important to use every exit as efficiently as possible. Overall, according to Bezzecchi, the work has been positive so far, even if it still takes time to really understand the innovations.
