The Indonesian MotoGP Warm-up Session At The Mandalika Circuit Turns Out To Be The Awakening Point Of Aprilia Racing, Maverik Vinales: Yes, It Started There

JAKARTA - Aprilia Racing made extraordinary achievements in MotoGP Argentina. Aprilia won their first victory in the MotoGP era after Aleix Espargaro came out as champion.

This achievement is even more extraordinary after Maverick Vinales also made good results. The Spaniard finished in seventh position and won nine points.

Many are wondering, what makes Aprilia Racing now so "fierce"? Apparently, the key was during the Indonesian MotoGP warm-up session at the Mandalika Circuit, March 20.

That moment became the point of Aprilia's rise to success at the Termas de Rio Hondo Circuit. Vinales said, everything started from Indonesia.

"Yes, it started from there. We changed a lot of motorcycle settings. Just a little different philosophy," said Vinales during an interview with MotoGP.

After experiencing changes to the bike settings, Vinales feels better on the straights. So, according to him, it is very important in Argentina to ensure that.

After going through the first free practice session, Vinales and Aprilia confirmed they had made a big step and that made everyone in the team happy.

"Now we see what we can do next," said Vinales.

Furthermore, the speed of the Aprilia motorbike ridden by Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Vinales will be tested at the Austin Circuit, United States. The American MotoGP is scheduled to take place on Sunday, April 10 local time or Monday, April 11 in the morning of Indonesian Western Time (WIB).
