THE 2016 MOTOGP SEASON Begins IN MALAYSIA
THE Initial OF Three DAYS OF TESTING Right now FOR BAUTISTA AND BRADL ON THE APRILIA RS-GP MACHINES
Sepang (Malaysia), 1 February 2016 – The 2016 MotoGP season kicked off with the 1st day of tests, traditionally held at Sepang, with Aprilia committed to their second year in the top motorcycle racing category.
For the Aprilia Racing Group Gresini official riders, Alvaro Bautista and Stefan Bradl, it is also a return to the saddle after the long winter break, so for the first day they were primarily focused on obtaining back into the groove. From a technical point of view, the region of greatest interest has to do with the new electronics, a special package that should be developed and matched to the peculiar characteristics of every bike. The group focused their efforts on this front, looking for a standard setup that can then be transferred to the new 2016 Aprilia RS-GP prototype.
On the very first of the three days scheduled Alvaro Bautista put in 34 laps and his group mate, Stefan Bradl, put in 39.
ALVARO BAUTISTA
“After two months without having a bike this initial test is essential for obtaining back into the groove. We have a lot of operate to do, particularly in terms of the new electronics package. I’m expecting three intense days where we can take as a lot of measures forward as feasible, progress that we’ll then be in a position to use on the new bike.”
STEFAN BRADL
“Here at Sepang we’ll use the 2015 RS-GP, but the perform schedule is rather tight for us anyway. The feeling with the new electronics and the new tyres should be developed lap by lap. The initial tests of the season are always some thing specific. You get back onto the track soon after a extended break but it actually only takes a few kilometres to reacquire the correct sensations.”
