The Spanish rider posted the second fastest time on the opening day of the Catalunya Grand Prix, which is being held this weekend at the Circuit de Barcelona, which is his home race and that of his teammate and friend, Aleix Espargaró, the only one who managed to turn even faster, capturing both a brilliant double for Noale’s house. A result that invites you to dream thinking about Sunday.
“We dream every day, this is the secret of this great team, Aprilia, we are so hungry to do well and to win that I feel very good here, we work hard and everything now seems to be going smoothly and things are coming out,” he explained. Maverick at the end of the day.
“I hope to continue on the current line, already in Mugello I felt very good with the bike, but we didn’t manage to make a good qualifying on Saturday and that penalized us a lot in the race. So it’s very important this Saturday to make a good qualifying for start well placed on the grid. On Sunday we will see how far we can go, but what is certain is that we will push to the maximum”.
After such a positive day for the Aprilia riders, Maverick was the picture of happiness, although he lamented that some of his favorite tracks had already passed on the calendar
“It’s a shame that some circuits where we have always done so well in the past, like Argentina or Le Mans, have already passed, the good races have been too soon,” he said with a laugh.
Motivation is so high in Aprilia that they dream of a double that would be unprecedented and historic.
“It would be a dream especially for Aprilia, but also for Aleix and me, it would be brutal, but it is very difficult, the rivals are very strong”.
And put to dream, in a situation in which Aleix and Maverick reach the last corners together fighting for victory, he has no doubts.
“I’m going in safely, don’t hesitate, I’m going without the brakes! (laughs). Aleix would do the same, for sure. Of course he would try to pass, but with the utmost respect, we know that we are working for Aprilia and that Aleix is fighting for the championship, so I wouldn’t do anything crazy, but I would try, that’s for sure”, settled the boy from the Costa Brava.
