MOTOGP – PREVIEW GP 7 SPAIN

APRILIA READY FOR THE GP OF CATALUNYA

SPANISH TRANSFER WITH TEST SESSION ON THE SPECTACULAR TRACK, WHERE SUNDAY, JUNE 17, 2018 THE RIDERS ALEIX ESPARGARO' AND SCOTT REDDING WILL FACE THE 7TH RACE OF THE SEASON.

Barcelona (Spain), 12 June 2018 – The seventh race of the 2018 MotoGP Championship season will have the teams and riders busy on the Catalunya Circuit, just a few kilometres from Barcelona. A modern and spectacular track, it has been resurfaced and modified in its final section.

The Aprilia Racing Team Gresini riders have already had a chance to try out the changes with a test session that was useful in preparation for the Spanish round. Aleix Espargarò has plenty of motivation.

Aleix Espargarò has plenty of motivation. Having just become a father to twins Max and Mia, Aleix will take on his home race even more determined to do well with his RS-GP. For Scott Redding, the Barcelona race could be the perfect opportunity to find the right confidence with the Italian bike and to take a further step forward.

ALEIX ESPARGARO' (bike no. 41): "I really worked hard preparing for my home race in Barcelona. I am keen to do well. Unfortunately, the first part of the season did not go as we had hoped, but there are clear signs of our competitiveness. This will be my first weekend as a father. It is very emotional and extra motivation."

SCOTT REDDING (bike no. 45): "The Circuit of Barcelona-Catalunya is a nice track. The new asphalt is excellent, as we were able to test a couple of weeks ago. My goals for the rest of the season have not changed. We need to work hard, just as we have been until now, and achieve the best possible results."
