Aprilia have been dealt a harsh reminder that they won’t be able to recruit a star rider unless the reliability of their bike🌱 improves.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Vinales was stung by the RS-GP at the Portuguese MotoGP when, on the final lap and with a podium finish in the bank, he was forcꦚed to retire with a gearbox problem.

A day earlier, Vinales had won the sprint race at Portimao to deliver a reminder of what he and Aprilia can❀ a𝔍chieve on a good day.

But the technical problem that reared its ugly head in the grand prix will be off-putting to pꦕotential big names in the rider market, warns veteran crew chief Ramon Forcada.

"It is not the first time it 🔜has happened", Forcada said to Jorge Lorᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚenzo on their  podcast.

"You can always have a mechanic♐al accident, the good 🍷thing is when the mechanical accident is the exception.

“When it is the norm, there is something elꦗse behinꦉd it.

“In the end, what happens?

“As it is the championship, with how important points are and finishing all the races... what rider is going to want to go to Aprilia if🧜 they don't improve reliability?”

Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararꩲo is the big-name rider who has been most closely linked with a 2025 switch to Aprilia.

Maverick Vinales “doesn't know how lucky he was”

Forcada, in conversation with Lorenzo who won three🙈 MotoGP titles under his guidance, 🧸insisted that Aprilia’s problem in Portimao could have been worse.

"Maverick doesn't kno🌞w how lucky he was,” Forcada said.

“Having your gearbox blocked is the worst thไing you can do.

“It can happen, 𒈔if a [part] breaks, the normal thing is that it blocks completely.

“And if it does, the ಞfall i𝕴s not what he had. It is much worse.

“If the second occurs in the change of grade.꧟.. that's where iඣt happens.

“It's a dark mess. All in all, he was lucky.”

Forcada has been the technical chief for Lorenzo, Alex Barros, Casey Stoner and Franꦅco Morbidelli.

Last year, he was involved with Aprilia’s RNF satellite project as their MotoE man🔯ager.

He said about Aprilia’s reliability issues: "The bad thing is ༺when this is the norm, that the bike breaks.

“They have had two types of breaks🦄, especially last year they were overconfident when they took the s🅰atellite team, they thought they would arrive, and they didn't arrive."

“The mile๊age problem is easy to solve, you start doing more parts in the factory, and🅘 you do it.

“But if the problem is des๊ign, especially the gearbox...

“All riders fear a gearbox breakage.”
