The MotoGP rider market hinges on the current unhappiness of theꦿ ex-world champions of Honda and Yamaha, for whom the Monday test at Misano will be a crucial moment of truth before they decide whether to stay or go.

Marquez and Quartararo are contracted to♋ their current teams for next year but, despite lingering rumours that they could s✅eek an exit, the high-flying Aprilia are nonplussed.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Aleix Espargaro won last weekend’s Catalunya MotoGP ahead of teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Maverick Vinales but Aprilia insist the duo can aspire to e🏅ven෴ more.

Technical director Romano Albesiano told : “The bike is mature and the⛦ team is, too.♍ It’s not in our plans in the short-term.

“We have four riders who are fantastic, we have im🔴proved toge🐓ther with Aleix.

“He has improved in maturity and working with the team. This gives y𓂃ou the idea of how much a rider can evolve.

“For example, if I apply this evolution to Maverick, who is already at a very high level, and maybe he improves on some aspects like his consistency, we’re talking about a rider with crazy po🌳tential.

“I’m speaking as a friend and a fan - for as long as Aleix wants to continue🌼 and go strong, like this, there is a bi🧸ke for him at Aprilia.

“The same for Maverick. I expect a lo🌱t from him, moreꦓ than we’ve seen up to now, which is already a lot.

“He can make another step up.”

Aprilia also boast a pair of satellite riders in their RNF squad who they expect to extract even more potential♚ from.

“Miguℱel Oliveira is a wonderful rider,” Albesiano said. “I don’t know where he would be without the bad luck he has had up to today.

“As soon as there’s a chance, he is ahead. Then he has an intell🌠igence, an approach which is wonderful.

“I also love Raul Fernandez because he has enormous talent and just needs support, calm, a company that believes in him.𒀰 We are that company.

“We will𓆉 give him 🦩plenty of time to grow and show his worth which we believe is very high.

🦹“Then if Marquez is free or Quartararo is free, I wouldn’t say we♔ particularly need them.”
