The 2023 MotoGP Catalan Grand Prix is in the history books as the first one with an Aprilia 1-2 finish, thanks to Aleix Espargaró’s win – beating his teammate Maverick Viñales in a direct fight.
The #41 expressed his pride in the post-race press conference, both for the historic moment and the collective work within Aprilia:
– I’m very happy also for Aprilia. I think it’s a very historical moment. I’m very, very proud of Aprilia, because we came from far, far away. And Aprilia has to be very proud of Maverick and myself because together we did an amazing and historical job. It’s not easy to have a good relation with your teammate when you are fighting for top positions and to develop the bike to fight against your rivals. So, I’m very happy. Congratulations to Aprilia.
