Aprilia made a statement on Monday when they signed MotoGP championship leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin in place of the soon-to-be retired 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro.

But despite Martin being one of Espargaro’s closest friends, 🔯the addition of Martin is not one that is expected to sway Espargaro’s decision to leave for Honda, which is expected to be announced soon.

“It’s a good point but I thi𝔍nk Aleix would like a different challenge,” Massimo Rivola told MotoGP.com.

“He did his history and he feels like he h🐼as done his history with us. Maybe he will find it a more challenging situation for his future but I wish him th🌳e best.”

In terms of their second factory Aprilia seat, Rivola is hoping to keep Mꦓaverick Vinales alongside Martin.

Rivola said: “Maverick is part of the big puzzle and for me is a priority. Unfortunately, everything was so tight and d🦩one in a rush so I wrongly didn’t find the time to speak with him.”

Rivola did confirm that Aprilia are interested in Enea Bastianini and Marco Bezzecchi, before reiterating his desire to kee🌊p Vinales.

“Yes abs🐻olutely and they are all fantastic riders,” said Rivola when asked about Bastianini and Bezzecchi. “Let’s see but the priority would be Maverick.”

With Espargaro leaving Aprilia, the chall🌃enge of having a ne🌳w rider in Martin adapt quickly to the RS-GP will be a challenge the team has now had to face for several seasons.

But Rivola expects the 💎extremely talented Spaniard to adapt quickly: “I💛 think we are recognised, generally as a good team.

“People feel good and his adaptation would be a question mark. But given his level of talent and his riding style, I don’t ♒think it will take long.”
