Aprilia had \u201cnot enough time\u201d to make a proper evaluation of its new MotoGP aerodynamics package during the post-race test in Valencia on Tuesday (18 November).<\/p>\n
The one-day MotoGP<\/a> test was heavily affected by overnight rain which saw the test extended by half-an-hour at the end of the day, but which also cost over two hours of running in the morning.<\/p>\n This contributed to Aprilia\u2019s lack of time to evaluate its new aerodynamics package<\/a>, but it was also something normal for a test, explained Marco Bezzecchi<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s different, of course, but as always not enough time to really understand,\u201d Bezzecchi said after the Valencia test.<\/p>\n \u201cOf course, we tested many things, but the day was a bit particular because of the weather conditions: we lost a lot of track time.\u00a0<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n \u201cSo, of course, mixed feeling, as always in testing. Some positives, for sure, but also many doubts, many negatives \u2013 like every time in testing.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cSo, we will have to really analyse well everything before taking a decision. It was just an appetiser.\u201d<\/p>\n The Italian\u2019s comments echoed to some extent the indecision projected by Jorge Martin<\/a> when he spoke after the test. Martin was more explicitly positive about a new chassis he tried<\/a>.<\/p>\n Bezzecchi also added that the lack of morning running meant that there was not enough time to complete as much back-to-back testing between the updated bike and the final 2025-specification RS-GP as he and Aprilia would\u2019ve liked.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s normal in testing to do some back-checks, it\u2019s like this always,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n \u201cUnfortunately, with not so much time, if you want to try more things you have to concentrate on what you\u2019re trying, so no chance for the back-check, but the back-check is super-important to understand.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cSo, it was a positive test, but not enough information because of this kind of problems.\u201d<\/p>\n
