Aleix Espargaro has called the Catalan MotoGP ‘a very historical moment’ for Aprilia after completing his first double win.
Espargaro won Saturday’s MotoGP sprint after overcoming world champion Francesco Bagnaia, before going on to do the same against teammate Maverick Vinales.
"I think that today is a very historical moment," began the Spaniard."I’m very proud of Aprilia. Very, very proud because we came from very far away. "It’s not easy to have a good relationship 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."
"I said to myself, I remember at that moment Maverick struggling three years ago, and he was super down. I was talking to him. “You will come to Aprilia.” But obviously, he was not sure, because Aprilia was finishing at one minute."This is like a present to Aprilia, to ourselves, to belief, to hard work. Teamwork in the end pays off because two strong riders working together, it’s much better than one.
