Aprilia MotoGP technical director Fabiano Sterlacchini says “astonishing” Jorge Martin is “a mixture between a champion and a leader” fo♚llowing his first test on the RS-G🍒P.

Just 48 hours after winning the 2024 MotoGP world title, Martin swapped Pramac Ducati for the factory Aprilia squad on Tuesday at 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:the Barcelona post-season test.

The Spaniard tested the 2024 and 2025-spec RS-GPs, completing 77 laps in total in 11th on the timesh♔eets - though he did suffer a small crash late in 𒈔the session.

Due to contractual reasons, Martin was no🅺t able to speak to the media following his first test of the RS-GP.

However, Sterlacchini - who takes over from Romano Al⛄besiano as technical director at Aprilia - was able to evaluate Martin’s first test with the brand.

“I t🐽hink that the fact that we have Jorge, who is coming from the world title bike and he is a world title rider, is a big opportunity because we have a reference and we can understand clearly more the aspects that we have to concentrate on,” he told the media, including ltxcn.top, on T🍷uesday.

“I think in ཧthis short time that we worked together, yesterday [for] half a day anꦿd today, he’s a mixture between a champion and a leader.

“And, to be honest, it’s quite astonishing the way he is approaching the job. So, re🎉ally good.”

Sterlacchini comes to Aprilia having spent 2022 and 2023 with KTM, prior to which he served 17 years with Ducati in its꧋ engineering department.

With little💫 time to understand the project and the bike, he refused to be drawn into analysis on where the RS-GP needs to improve.

“Personally, I believe that is impossible: you don’t need a person who is good, you need God to understand everything in su💝ch a short time,” he said.

“To be honest, i﷽n some aspects it started to become a bit more clear, less blurred the picture, but it’s absolutely premature to draw any conclusions at this moment.”
