The Italian marque's CEO Mass🍌imo Rivola expressed disappointment for Aprilia's showing in Qatar, while stating that it "stands with" Martin.

“Our performance in the 🔥race was not up to eꦍxpectations," he said. 

"We’ll continue working with Marco to be more incisive in the opening stages of the race and in time-attacks. Nevertheless, performance moves to the back burner today and our thoughts are wiꩲth Jorge🗹 at this difficult period – we stand with him.”

The next grand prix will be held at Jerez in Spain in two weeks, which 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin would have been eyeing as a perfect opportunity to further his adaptation t꧒o the RS-GP given the post-race test on the Monday after the event.
