Aprilia didn’t have an easy weekend with the first-ever Grand Prix in India. Alexi Espargaró was forced to give up Sunday’s long race and Maverick Vinales was put off track at the first corner, still managing to stay in the race, finishing in 8th position.

Despite this, in debrief, the #12 showed that he was pleased to have achieved a good recovery after some changes in the settings of his bike, stating that it is a good sign to be on the pace of the top five, even in an unfavorable weekend:

– Yes, I was put out on the first corner and came in last. But then the recovery was very good, so I’m happy. This weekend we never found a good feeling on the bike, but in the warmup we changed the set-up a lot, to something we had never explored and we wanted to race like this to understand. I honestly had the best feeling of the weekend during the race, so it’s something to learn. You know I always say we must be positive. At the end of a very, very bad weekend, we were eighth, but potentially without going of track we had made the top 5. On a bad weekend, that’s fantastic. We got it right a little late in the set-up, but you know, new track … But I’m happy, there was something very positive about the bike I experienced today, especially on the brakes.

Asked what wasn’t working on his Aprilia, Maverick Vinales was clear, again stating that he was happy despite the less positive result:

– Just struggling a lot with the rear end on the brakes. But in the warm up we changed the bike a lot and I wanted to race with that, I wanted to bet on it because I know that if I run with a new setup you can always understand something. We understand that this way I can brake later and that’s fantastic, because in Japan you must brake late. Even if the result is not what I like or where I think we can be, it is very positive because we found something in the brakes, which in the test we could not find.
