The Italian GP is the festival par excellence for Italian fans, as well as Aprilia Racing’s home race. It is one of the most spectacular tracks on the World Championship calendar with its 5245 meters of fantastic turns which have made this track one of a kind in the world.
ALEIX ESPARGARÓ, #41: "I had said at the beginning of the season that these two weekends were extremely important for me. Barcelona and Mugello are two of the best Grand Prix rounds of the season, at home for me and at home for Aprilia. I’m hoping to find that same good feeling I had with the bike in Barcelona and to battle for the podium in Mugello. I can’t wait."
MAVERICK VIÑALES, #12: "Mugello has been a demanding track in recent years for me and I have never managed to find the right feeling. I’m rather curious to see how I’ll do with the new bike. I’m certain that we’ll be able to do a good job because this is Aprilia’s home GP. I’m highly motivated and we’ll be giving it one hundred percent.”
LORENZO SAVADORI, #32: "This weekend, we’ll continue testing several solutions we are developing. I can’t wait to race in Mugello in front of our fans. It is one of the nicest tracks of the championship and, as always, I’ll be giving it my all."
